After a long battle with Alzheimer’s, Marlene joined her husband Doug and son Guy on August 8, 2014. She is survived by her children Gary, Wendy, Vicki, and Jacki (Roger), her grandsons Jordan (Yessenia) and Brandon, her sister Doreen and brothers Derrill and Stan and many nieces, nephews and their children. Marlene will be remembered for her love of music, playing her accordion and knitting all those wonderful sweaters and socks for her extended family and friends. She will also be remembered for her hospitality at the Shuswap and the hours of playing horseshoes with her guests. Marlene’s door was always open and she was a “Second Mom and Nana” to many people in Kamloops and Aldergrove. Thank you all for being a part of our lives.
Please join us for a Celebration of her Life on Saturday August 30, 2014 at 10:00 am in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel.

So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a greatlady. Lots of fun. We will have good memories as I know you all will. Waterskiing at age 70ish and getting out of the water afterwards with not a hair out of place. Dancing at her birthday party at the Pogue. Take care all.
