August 2, 2012
Marlene Ollerton King was born in Fairview, Utah on February 27, 1933 to Elmo and Alta Dennison Ollerton. She attended Manti High School. She enjoyed riding horses and was the Rodeo Queen. She met her sweetheart, Ray Dee King, and three weeks later they were married on September 27, 1954. Together they raised six beautiful children. Johnny, Debbie, Floyd, Kory, Sylvia and her Pick Up Son, Sam; along with many dogs, horses, goats, raccoons and even a monkey. She enjoyed fishing, camping, and boating and doing anything with her family.
She worked at Porkys Cafe and Grand Central Warehouse where she claimes to be “the jack of all trades, but the master of none.” Marlene was so talented, she loved to sew, crochet, needle point, ceramics, and many of her crafts won ribbons at the Utah State Fair. She loved collecting trinkets, spoons, cups and saucers, bells and books. No matter how many items she had she knew exactly where each one was and if it had been moved. Even though she didn’t like to cook, she was amazing at it. Her lima beans and goo-losh were the best. Her sugar cookies a family favorite and her home-made scones filled the bellies of the entire west Valley City Police Department many times and always brought her family together.
She cherished her grandchildren. She was the story– book Grandma. The best mom, most devoted wife, and such a good friend. She may have been little physically, but she was one tough cookie, who never complained about anything. She had a big heart, loved life and everyone in it. She fought a long hard battle and made many friends with all the nurses and doctors. Everyone adored her back.
