Approx '96 We arrived on early shift to the cardiac arrest buzzer sounding.. Marl was grabbing her coat off to help perform cpr.. Desperate to get stuck in as she was always eager to assist, being the brilliant nurse she was. She said what bed number is it someone said bed 27. The said person had a particularly awful serious criminal past, once she knew others were helping to successfully resuscitate said patient, she said "well sod this I'm putting the kettle on" 😂.
I've got soo many memories of Marlene, always full of fun, on my hen night she was the instigator of putting my arm in plaster 😂😂 goodness knows where she got that from.
When you were with Marlene, you were always belly laughing, she lived life to the full & loved by all that met her 💗
A collection of tributes and cherished moments from family and friends, honoring the beautiful life Marlene lived and what she brought to the people she touched.

Many good memories of Marlene. She was always happy when we met and would entertain us with her stories, resulting in laughter all round.

We were not as lucky as some people to have known Marl for many years, however, we certainly packed a great deal of laughter, stories and memories that will stay with us forever. She was a wonderful person, she showed great kindness when we needed help and support, that was Marl through and through. Kind, funny, loved her family and a truly amazing friend. Her adventurous lifestyle even venturing into learning to play the ukulele, which like everything she did was with great skill and enthusiasm and it was always a fun night when we all got together. It was a privilege and a pleasure to know Marl and she will be sadly missed but never forgotten. 🎶🎸

💛 In Loving Memory of My Cousin It’s hard to put into words what she meant to us, but what we will always hold onto are the hours we spent together — not in the same room, but on the phone. Distance never dimmed our connection. Somehow, no matter how far apart we lived, she always felt close. She had a way of turning an ordinary day into something brighter. Our conversations wandered everywhere — stories, memories, little jokes — and every call left us feeling lighter. Those moments were ours, and they’re treasures we will carry with us. She lived her life with warmth, humour, and a gentle strength that made people feel at ease. We are grateful for every laugh, every shared thought, every quiet moment of understanding. Though she’s no longer here, the love she gave and the joy she brought stay with us. We will miss her deeply, but will remember her with a full heart — for the cousin she was, the friend she became, and the light she’ll always be in our life.
