Marlene was an avid reader and could be known to be reading multiple books at one time. Marlene serviced on the board of Sertoma Star Services, which held a special place in her heart because her darling daughter Esther is a resident there. Marlene would always ensure that on the Jewish holidays, she cooked for Esther and her roommates so that they too could participate in the holiday. An active member of Am Echad in Park Forest and past president of the sisterhood. Judaism was extremely important to Marlene, and she took pride in keeping a kosher home. She was a caregiver in every sense of the word and took care everyone. She will be dearly missed. Memorial donations may be made to: Sertoma Star Services, www.sertomastar.org/donate.
