Dad Ron, Gina, Maria, Ronda, Vince, Lora and Ronnie….The Williams family of Lancaster would like to send our blessings to you and yours. Your mom was a true saint and I know she will be missed dearly. The love goes all the way back to Fulton street where it all started for us at St. Anthony’s. I can still remember the flavors and the aromas coming from that kitchen. OMG, she could cook! Wishing nothing but the best in the future for you all.

Ron, I am so very sorry for your loss. My memories of Marlene go back to my childhood. We were best friends and inseparable all through school. She was indeed a best and true friend. We laughed when she told me you two were getting married and that now we would be cousins. I will always have memories of the beautiful red head that had a kind and loving heart and all the fun we had growing up just houses apart. Please accept my sincerest and heartfelt condolences. I am sorry I will not be able to attend her service but you both will be in my prayers.
