Marlene loved all animals but was especially interested in the welfare of wild animals and spent over a decade as a wildlife rehabilitator. She was very active in the community in various volunteer roles and never missed a chance to help out wherever she was needed. She also enjoyed birdwatching, flowers, exercising her patriotic spirit, gardening, reading, crocheting, sewing, baking, cooking for friends and family, and she especially enjoyed monarch butterflies and preserving their natural habitat.
