Marlene was united in marriage to Allan Burns on June 9, 1990 in Tiffin. She was a secretary at Kirkwood Community College for many years.

Marlene enjoyed books, was an avid reader, and was involved in a couple of book clubs where they enjoyed books and sharing recipes and enjoying food. She enjoyed walking, traveling with her husband down to Florida in their trailer every winter, going to the beach, listening to gospel bluegrass music (especially The Garms) and, most of all, she dearly loved being a grandmother and spending time with family.

Instead of flowers, family requests memorials may be directed to The Shueyville Church All God’s Children daycare in Marlene’s name.
