Too Soon, Marlene, Too Soon

By Billie Reynolds, OCW Treasurer

On February 20, Marlene Yundt slipped off to her heavenly father’s home, leaving behind her family and many friends. Although she won an earlier bout with cancer, it returned.

Marlene was born in Oregon and graduated with a degree in theology from Multnomah Bible College. Her career included being a chaplain for the police and the Boy Scouts. Marlene was a writer in her later years and, in 2009, published Anna’s Legacy, the story of her grandmother and life in early Oregon. Her second book, Love Thy Neighbor, is currently being edited.

Marlene’s three sons live in Alabama, Washington, and Oregon, and she leaves several grandchildren. She was proud of them all, especially Joshua, who was able to visit her prior to leaving for another tour of duty in Iraq. She was very active in her church and helped found the King City Friday Bible study. Marlene also served as a speaker for Christian women’s groups. For a couple of years, Marlene was hostess for the monthly King City musicals and served as secretary to the Memorial Committee. She belonged to several King City clubs, including the Republican Women’s Club, and was a member of OCW for a number of years.
