Marlene had a zest for life and lit up every room she walked into. Known for her vibrant personality and natural charm, Marlene had a way of making everyone feel welcome. A true social butterfly, she made friends wherever she went. She was also incredibly hardworking and dedicated to her long-standing career as a mortgage specialist with the Royal Bank of Canada. Her professionalism and commitment not only earned her respect in the industry, but also gave her the opportunity to travel—something she greatly enjoyed. In retirement Marlene settled back to Regina closer to her family. She took great pride in the countless hours she spent volunteering at the Government House.

Marlene will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family and friends, her generous heart, and her unforgettable laugh and style.
