Marlene retired from Diamond Glass/Anchor Glass, she then went on to work at Mrs. Smith's Pies until their Closure. Marlene also worked at the Hill School in the food service department.

Watching her grandsons play their various sports from their youth through their college years was her greatest joy. As they transitioned into young adults, she was proud of the fine young men they became and what they have accomplished. She also enjoyed shopping at Boscov's with her daughter and buying more clothes than she needed.

Marlene loved to cheer on her favorite football teams: U.S. Naval Academy, University of Alabama, and the Denver Broncos. When she wasn't watching the Food or Gameshow Networks, she would scroll through Facebook or play games on her tablet. Marlene also enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the deer on the property or waving to passengers on the Colebrookdale train as it went by the house.

Marlene leaves behind her memories to be cherished by her daughter Kristina Pennypacker (husband Scott), two grandsons Mason and Logan Pennypacker, and sister Cheryl Chiarello.
