Marlene was united in marriage to Wilbert “Bill” Nething on September 24, 1962 in Minnesota. The couple lived in Stanley, where in addition to Wilbert hauling livestock they also owned and operated a game farm. In 1982 they moved to Milwaukee, and there they managed 3 large apartment complexes. In 1989 they moved into the village of Fairchild.

After her husband passed away on May 29, 2002, Marlene continued living in Fairchild until moving to Moore Assisted Living in Augusta.
