Dan, Greg, Linda, Michael and Anthony, what a very special memorial service. It was an honor to celebrate Marlene’s life as we listened to the heartwarming stories share by all of you. The time together was a testament to the joy she broutht to all she graced. Her legacy lives on through all of you, her family-husband, children, grand children, and great grand baby. God Bless you all~
Marlene was a kind, gentle, and loving woman. When I think if Marlene, the image that comes to my mind is of her always smiling and laughing. I was blessed to have known her.
Dear Dan and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss-our loss. Marlene was a terrific lady and beautiful in so many ways. Her smile, her grace and her friendliness was appreciated by all who had the privilege to know her. For me, she always brought back memories of my childhood and the extended Miori family. I would see Aunt Mary in her kind eyes. Dan, you and Marlene have really supported the family by celebrating at joyous events, as well as offering yourselves in times of sadness. I am thankful for her life and I will be praying for all of you.
With Love, Pam Miori Storz
Dan: Sorry I was not able to attend Marlene’s funeral service. Marlene and I were childhood playmates and attended Our Lady of Mt. Virgin Grade school together. I have fond memories of those days gone by. No one could do “Cartwheels” and “Handstands” like Marlene!! My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family. Pat Alishio
Dan, We are so sorry to hear about Marlene, she was a very sweet lady and always had a smile on her face. Our prayers are with you and your family. John Buddy and Elsie Sacco
Our heart goes out to all of you. It was so evident that her joy in life was Dan and all her family. We feel blessed to have known Marlene and know her life will continue shining thru the lives of those she’s touched for so many years. She will be dearly missed.
Our family sends you our thoughts and prayers at this time and are sorry we were not able to attend the services. We will miss the time we spent watching Marlene dance.
We regret that we will not be able to attend Marlene’s funeral services but would like to extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Dymarkowski and Miori families. Marlene was a fun-loving and sweet individual that will be dearly missed.
The measure of a persons impact on the world is reflected in their family and how that person is remembered. Marlenes impact is nothing but wonderful. Each one of you kids show that in the way you work, Love and live your lifes. Its a wonderful life long tribute to haveing a loving mother. I’m proud to be called a friend of the Dymarkowski Family, and My thoughts are with all of you kids, and your father at this difficult time. May God continue to bless all of you and your families with each other.
Friends that are as true and wonderful as Marlene are a rare treasure, and I am so lucky to have had her in my life. I will miss her terribly and remember her always. Memories of our times together will be with me forever.
Linda, I was so sorry to read of your mother’s death. I remember her as such a fun-loving person and a devoted, involved mother and grandmother. My condolences to you and your family in your loss.
Did you know Marlene could type 130 words a minute and take shorthand at 100 words per minute? She was an awesome employee and a truly wonderful friend. I have the fondest memories of spending quite a few Thanksgiving weekends with Marlene and Danny and the kids at Ocean Shores when they would rent a house on the beach for the week. When TCM had a Mario Lanza movie showing, I knew Marlene was watching. She would whip up the best Italian dressing in the blink of an eye. She and Chris introduced me to Blessings Jewelers and started me collecting. She had an influence on my life … I love her and will miss her terribly.
We felt so blessed when our daughter Deanna met, fell in love and married Tony Dymarkowski. Little did we know that we would get such pleasure and enjoyment from his entire family. His Mom and Dad were just the most delightful couple and Marlene will be missed not only by her immediate family but from her “extended” family as well. The Houser’s and the Edward’s have you all in our prayers.
We were sad to read that Marlene had passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Danny, and your family.
With Sympathy

She was such a beautiful lady full of life and love for her family. My thoughts and prayers are with those left behind. She is with the Lord now and I so look forward to our meeting again. God Bless Your Family in this painful time. Luv Lynn at Nordstrom
