Marlene was born on February 22, 1943, in Westville, OK. She grew up in the Westville area, cherishing the time she spent with her beloved grandparents. Later, she moved to Turley and attended Cherokee School. Marlene lived in Germany for a period before returning to Oklahoma, where she reconnected with Ron Fuller. They began dating and married on April 29, 1966.

Initially, they lived in Turley and built their first home together. After a few years, they moved to Chelsea to start rural life and later to the Big Cabin area where they started a dairy farm and continued raising their children. Marlene was known for her exceptional cooking skills, especially her German chocolate cake and mashed potatoes and gravy. 

Marlene was a compassionate person who valued relationships and people and loved her children and grandchildren deeply. She was adventurous and enjoyed camping, riding four-wheelers, and fishing with Ron. After Ron's passing, Marlene found companionship with Larry Clifford, with whom she shared many happy times. Marlene will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
