Marlene started her career as a telephone operator with AT&T before becoming a mortgage underwriter. She was actively involved in the National Association of Professional Mortgage Women of Orange County and cherished the friendships she made through her work.

One of Marlene's greatest passions was reading and spent hours reading books by her favorite authors. She loved traveling and took every opportunity to explore new places. She especially loved going on cruises with her longtime friend, Betty Kane. Marlene also researched her family’s history, both the Rogan’s and Throckmorton’s.
