Marlene

Spotts

Marlene lived life on her own terms, with a little sparkle, a lot of personality, and a love for the people and pleasures that made life special. Born on October 28, 1933, she passed away on November 13, 2026.

A longtime Philadelphia resident for nearly 90 years, Marlene begrudgingly moved to Marlton, New Jersey, to be closer to her family, where she embraced a new chapter of life.

Marlene loved the excitement of the casino, fabulous dinners, getting her hair and nails done, and spending time with friends and family. She enjoyed getting dressed up, having a good time, and relaxing with one of her favorite shows, Murder, She Wrote. In Marlton, she also enjoyed afternoons playing cards, learning Canasta and Rummikub, and making wonderful memories.

Her greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted mother to Mindy (Pete) and Perry (Marcy), a loving Mommom to Kelly (Paul), Justin (Chelsea), and Savannah (Josh), and a proud great-grandmother to Giuliana, Millie, and Josie.

Marlene was preceded in death by her first husband, Paul Guida, the father of her children, and her beloved Bill, a proud Navy veteran and the love of her life. She is survived by her cherished companion, Ron, and his family.

Marlene leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, lasting friendships, and treasured memories. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of all who knew her.
