Marlene J. Wilhelm, age 63 years, of Clymer Pa, passed away Monday afternoon, March 27th, 2023, at Indiana Regional Medical Center.
She was born November 29, 1959, in Salem, OH, the daughter of Warren and Lucille (Detwiler) Witmer.
She grew up in Columbiana, OH and raised her family in Purchase Line, PA. She later resided in Homer City, PA and then moved to Clymer, PA. She spent most of her life caring for others. Whether it was in child care, elderly care, or taking care of her own family, she had a special way of showing the warmest love to those around her. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, cooking, creating art, and sharing stories of her past.
She is survived by her former husband, Richard of Purchase Line, PA; two children, Sahara (Shirl) Wilhelm of Clymer, PA, David (Dana) Wilhelm of Armagh, PA; siblings Dennis Witmer of Minot, ND, Joyce (Mark) Nafziger of Archbold,OH, and Gerald (Marlene) Witmer of Chickamagua, GA; a brother-in-law Dale (Marian) Wenger of Columbiana, OH; grandchildren Brittany, Milo, Alton, Eli, Oakley, and Grace.
She will be missed every day by her family and friends, especially Karen, Lisa, Claudia & Maggie.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents and a sister, Cheryl Wenger.
At Marlene’s request, there will not be a funeral or memorial service. Instead, the family is asking for you to live out some of the best characteristics of Marlene. Love those who don’t know love, listen to others with intent, and to never forget the good times of the past.
The McCabe~Roof Funeral Home, 565 Franklin St., Clymer is assisting the Wilhelm family.
