My aunt Marlene passed away on Monday April 8th. This lady’s kindness, giving & welcoming nature, and love came thru every time I was around her. That’s what I’ll miss the most. My first memory of Marlene was her home fries! They were delicious and just like sissy’s (my grandmother). She always made them for my dad, and I remember her giving him containers of it which everyone in my house would enjoy. Then later she and pinky began spending more and more time in Fla after I moved there and we’d all go out for many amazing dinners and sporting events together in Fla. Great times, and I’ll miss them for sure!! Marlene ,May you RIP now, much love to you, and everyone you touched in your life that will be missing you.
Pinky and my cousins, so sorry you have to go thru this loss. Polands are the strongest around, you got this. Love you all

To the Poland family: Marlene was a ray of shine everyday of her life! I worked with Marlene at Mawson and Mawson and she was an absolute delight. Marlene loved all her children and spoke of them often with love and laughter. She made a difference in this world. She was a good and faithful servant and she will be trying the patience of the Saints in heaven with her ideas of how things can be done better.
God Bless you all,
Kasia Trott
