A lovely lady always remembered
During the summer of 1967 or 1968 Marlene and I had a job cooking for the Owen family on Lake Owen, near Ashland, Wisconsin. Joan Gullerud was there, too; her job was to take care of the kids. The three of us lived in a cabin near the main house (and there was only an outhouse at our disposal), and we shared many experiences together. I had thought that I was experienced in the cooking area, but I think Marlene had me beat. We all became good friends. I don’t remember a single bad moment in our friendship. Marlene was simply a pleasure to have as a friend. I am sorry that she is gone, but happy her pain is over and that she is with Jesus.
My deepest sympathy to you all on your very sad loss of Marlene. Ethel.
