She was looking forward to spending time with her grandchildren. She was a member of the United Methodist Church for years but in later years never missed a week of church service on the radio. She was a loving, caring, dedicated mother and grandmother that devoted her life to her family and those in need. Marlene had a big heart, a sensitive soul, a sense of humor, and everything she did was with a genuine passion from her heart. Since the birth of her first grandchild, Marlene thrived on the love that she gave them and her life’s fuel was renewed from the love she received from them. She loved spending time at the “library” and on the computer making her own personal cards for family and friends. Marlene is survived by three children, Larry Mauer of Tecumseh, Lori (Dave) Render of Manchester and Wendy (Marty) Nelson of Manistee, seven grandchildren; Chelsea, Devin, Coyle, and Cody Render and Alex, Joseph and Elizabeth Nelson and her special cousins.Funeral services were held Wednesday Aug. 1, 2012 at J.
