She will be reuniting with her late son, Marc Pinard, and her parents Lucienne and Marc Delva in Heaven. Born on November 30, 1946, Marlene lived a life full of devotion, joy, and steadfast reliability. Her infectious humor, kind-hearted nature, and steadfast faith made her a cherished figure to many.
Marlene was the embodiment of a true matriarch in her family. Her nurturing and caring nature extended beyond her immediate family, adopting numerous friends into her care, who she treated as her own children and grandchildren. For Marlene, once you became her friend, you were family.
As a devoted ER nurse, Marlene received numerous honors for her exemplary work. Her dedication went beyond her professional life. Marlene also led a Rosary Rally during the 2018 and 2021 Public Square Rosary Crusade, the largest Rosary network in our history. Her love for God and unwavering faith were evident in each of her actions. Marlene was a true testament of what it means to lead a life of faith, love, and devotion.
