Marlene Cook

Marlene Marie Cook , 81, of Littleton, passed away April 7, 2019.

She was born November 29, 1937 in Oberlin, Kansas, the daughter of Clem and Alice (Kompus) Hutfles.

Marlene was loved by everyone. She never met someone she didn’t give something of herself to. She was active in her church including serving as a Martha. Her faith in her God was unwavering. Sewing, gardening, music, dancing and cooking were passions of hers and she excelled at all of them. Always giving, she chose a career in nursing where she selflessly served those in need for many years. Married for over 50 years, she left behind a legacy of her love for her husband, Tom, in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom will miss her dearly. God rest her soul in Heaven. She’s with the angels now…
