My name is Marlene. I am the mother of two. Grandmother of four. Wife of one. Mother-in-law to two. Sister to five guys. Sister of five girls. Daughter of two and granddaughter of four. I am the guardian of one. Sister-in-law to fourteen. Aunt and great-aunt to sixty and counting. Friend to many. My siblings and I have many aunts and uncles as well as forty-four first cousins – which means we had a lot of fun during our childhood.  

I have been fortunate enough to have worked as a registered nurse in home health and hospice services where I met many wonderful people. I reconnected with family friends and even high school friends while taking care of their family members. It really was a great experience.

I stepped away from nursing a number of years ago when a friend asked me to go to work as a rep for a credit card processing company. So off I went to learn that industry and am still employed as a sales and service independent contractor for DC Merchant Services – a company with a few bragging rights. It has been a fun venture.
