 Marlene, born on December 10, 1934, to the late Gus and Clarice Frey, lived a life of passion and creativity. She was a graduate of St. Edmund Catholic High School, where the foundations of her religious life and education were laid. Marlene made significant contributions in her professional life, serving as administrative assistant at LSUE in the counselor’s office. Following her education at T.H. Harris Vocational School she worked in administration in the corporate headquarters of the New Orleans Public Service in purchasing. After returning to Eunice, she worked in numerous fields, including legal secretary for Mr. Wesley Clanton where she specialized in oil and gas mineral rights. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Marlene's true joy came from the time spent with her beloved sons. She enjoyed cooking for her family, fishing, and enjoyed watching all types of sports ranging from gymnastics to football. She also enjoyed reading and politics. Her creative hobbies were music and painting. Her paintings reflected her appreciation for life and beauty.
