I had the pleasure of working with Marlene at Russ’s Market. She alway had a smile on her face & was a joy to work with. I’m going to miss her.
My deepest sympathy,
Wanda Fedon

My heart goes out to the Taylor family. Marlene was such a beautiful, gracious lady. Always had a smile and was so nice. She never talked bad about anyone, my only regret is Morgan Taylor and I never made it over for her to teach us how to crochet. You will truly be missed Marlene.
