To Russell and family. I was so saddened to read of Marlenes passing. She was so kind and caring to mum during the time you lived in TeAnau. Also fond memories of Marlene at play groups when the kids were little and as a client during the time I was owner of Vision hair and beauty. Deepest sympathy my thoughts are with you. Xoxo

Aunty Marlene had that cheeky wee grin, and had a heart of gold. She was a kind and caring person.
Wish we could all be down south to say our goodbyes and share a cuddle with you all.

I am very sorry and saddened to read at the passing of Marlene, wife mother and grandmother, and friend. I have many fond memories of time spent with and the family at Browns. Barbeques in the kitchen and watching rugby are some that come to mind. Gone but not forgotten.
