Following high school, she attended Concordia College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She worked for the Veteran’s Administration in St. Paul, Honolulu, Reno, and Sioux Falls. She later returned to Scotland to help her aging parents, but continued to work for the VA by working online and traveling to Sioux Falls. Marlene was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and the Scotland Historical Society. She loved her birds and dogs. She enjoyed crafts, furniture refinishing, needlework and always decorated her house for the holidays. Due to poor health, she entered the Yankton Care Center, later returning home for a short time. She was a resident at the Good Samaritan Society of Scotland, Autumn Winds in Yankton, and the Wakonda Heritage Manor.
