About Marlene

Marlene grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1955.

Marlene married Raymond Kvam on 06/16/1956 at the church in Cedar-Riverside where they met. Marlene raised their 6 children and then entered the workforce later in life and worked for the Minneapolis Society for the Blind as a supervisor in manufacturing until her retirement in 1991.

Marlene enjoyed spending time with her family and had a unique relationship with all of her children.

She loved collecting Precious Moments figurines, jewelry, and Beanie Babies. Although Marlene was legally blind from birth, she was a fan of soap operas and loved listening to them daily, especially "As The World Turns" and "Days of Our Lives".

Marlene was an amazing cook and made all her dishes from scratch. The family favorite is: Goulash, which they all make to this day and have passed down the recipe to their children.
