Marlene enjoyed traveling with her husband, family, and friends to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan.  There they had a lake cabin where she was able to entertain their guests and cherished the memories that were made during those years.  There were many card games that were played and many fish were caught…and some got away.  As her grandchildren grew in age, she would travel to visit them and witness the accomplishments they were having in life.  She was also an avid fan of IU Basketball and would watch the “Big Screen” at the neighbors.
