Marlene had both of her daughters, Pauly and Rene, in Orange County before eventually moving to Oregon to find work and settle down in Silverton.

Marlene was a waitress for over 30 years and spent most of that time at Chan's restaurant in Silverton. She had been married to Lewis Schroeder for 43 years, who preceded her in death in 2020.  Louie and Marlene put their passions at the center of their marriage, which included guns and Harleys. For the first 20 years of their marriage, they did gun shows together in between working. For the next 20 years they spent their time riding Harleys with their HOG friends, which was Marlene's greatest joy.

Marlene and Louie enjoyed going on adventures and traveling the world together. The two went to many countries and enjoyed fishing out of Garibaldi where they had a boat and RV spot for many years.

She is survived by her daughters Pauly Norby and Rene Hurley; her grandchildren, Candace Johnson, Tarra Schueller, Stephanie Jordan, Andrew Hurley, Dylan Norby and Taylor Norby; and six great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held 1pm Sunday, February 5, 2023, at Bethany Cemetery in Silverton. Arrangements are with Unger Funeral Chapel – Silverton.
