Marlene was born March 3, 1935 in Milford, Ill. to Delmar and Kathryn (McCalla) Hallock.   In the late thirties they, along with her brother Tom, moved to St. Joseph. Marlene graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1953 and worked for F & M Bank, Clark Equipment, and the Captains Table where she met her husband Chuck. Shortly after, they were married on November 17, 1967, recently celebrating their 52nd anniversary.  In 1976, they built their forever home in Bridgman where they raised four children together. In 1980, Marlene became the manager at the Peacock Apparel Shoppe in Stevensville, later retiring from Dotty's Chapeaux when they closed.

Marlene had a beautiful sense of style, being colorful, flamboyant, and loving to shop. Some of her favorite shops were The Mole Hole, Hoopdee Scootee, Props and James Lee.  Her other true passions include, decorating for all holidays, being at the beach and on the lake.

Marlene is survived by her husband Chuck; three children, Larry (Julie) Toth of Vicksburg, Tara (Bryan) Duffield of Coloma, and Scott Toth of Benton Harbor; four granddaughters Sabrina Toth, Ashley (Joel) Larsen, Kendyl (Nathan) Adams and Madyson Duffield and two great granddaughters Everly Adams and Maddox Larsen.

In addition to her parents Marlene was preceded in death by a daughter Terri Molpus in 2005.

The entire family would like to extend their appreciation to everyone who participated in her care over the last five years.
