She was born on December 13, 1936, in Fond du Lac, the daughter of Henry and Regina (Rautenberg) Schmidt. On February 15, 1958, she married Lyle Weed. Marlene and Lyle were members of Peace Lutheran Church in Rosendale, WI and they co-founded and were active members of Pennbrooke Community Church in Leesburg, FL. Marlene worked at A.C. Nielsen, H & R Block, and lastly, Fox Valley Savings Bank until her retirement in 1999. 

 Marlene lived in Fond du Lac most of her life and retired to Florida for 15 years before returning. She enjoyed playing golf in the sunshine and had six hole-in-one's. Marlene even got the opportunity to see Bob Hope play his last round of golf. Marlene and Lyle attended the famous “Ice Bowl” game at Lambeau Field watching the amazing Bart Starr touchdown in 1967. She was a wonderful homemaker who loved to host family and friends. She enjoyed camping in Montello, reading, doing puzzles and playing cards (especially Sheepshead and Hand & Foot). Marlene and Lyle liked traveling with friends across the country, from New York, to Hawaii, to California and everywhere in between.
