Marlene was a Great Grandma to Emma Johnston and Joel Cosgrove.

Marlene was a 1960 graduate of Fort Hill High School. Marlene enjoyed bowling, playing Yahtzee, and enjoying coffee with friends. She had a great sense of humor and was always making her friends laugh. She devoted her life and love into her grandchildren, she supported them and always attended all of their sporting events. Marlene enjoyed going to Savage River Dam with Pap and her loyal loving dog, Buddy Boy.

The Cosgrove family takes comfort knowing that her nephew, C.L. Tipton was waiting to escort her to Heaven.
