"Marlene was my very excellent godmother. As a little girl, I will always remember her thoughtfulness and consideration for me. Although she had other godchildren, she always attended my special occasions ( recitals, birthdays), and always recognized my contributions. That wasn't an easy task, as I was a very quiet and compliant child, being easily "lost" in the crowd of our extended family. She put forth the extra effort. Merlin, Zak, and Laura, I am so very sorry for your loss. "
In loving memory of
Marlene A. Zuege
March 3, 1945 - January 5, 2012

The primary focus of Marlene's life was her family and more recently, getting close to her two grandsons. She received great joy in helping her children earn their college educations. She loved reading, attending to her flower garden, and listening to Frank Sinatra. Marlene was very proud of her Belgian heritage.
Marlene will be sadly missed by her husband Merlin; her children: Zak (special friend Vicki) of Stevens Point, his children Sam and Sawyer and Laura (special friend Todd) of Appleton. She is further survived by other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; an infant daughter: Elizabeth, and two brothers: Joe and Wayne.

"When I was very young, in the mid-1960's, Marlene seemed more my fascinating older sister than my aunt. She was the cool older kid, with the bongo drums and Ray Charles albums in her room. She looked inexplicably like Ava Gardner. Tonight, we'll shuffle our Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, and remember Marlene fondly. So sorry for your loss. "
