Marlette was loved by all the people who ever entered her life. She was fondly called “mom” by many. She was athletic and visited the dugout and baseball field of the Rockford Peaches as a young teenager. Little babies and children were drawn to her because of her energy she showed to them. She was playful, nonjudgmental, a hardworking woman widowed at 34 years old, a friend to all she met. She made each grandchild feel that they were “the special one”. She loved to go for rides, coffee and graham crackers with butter. She loved the Lord and hymns. Her caregiver Toni became her very special friend. Marlette helped Toni through her difficult time and they created a very special bond.
