Marlene Rementer

Marlene P. Rementer, a beacon of grace, empathy, unwavering support, departed this earthly plane on November 11, 2025, leaving a legacy of love, inspiration, and resilience that will echo through the generations. Born on October 28, 1935, in Philadelphia, PA, Marlene's life was characterized by her profound dedication to her loved ones and her enduring spirit. As Maya Angelou wisely said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Marlene imbued every interaction with this wisdom, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and love on those she met.

Marlene spent most of her professional life as a Phone Operator and AR Clerk in the fields of Accounting and Printing. This was a testament to her supportive and nurturing nature, always lending a listening ear and offering words of comfort or encouragement. Her empathy was a beacon that guided many through turbulent times. She was a woman of strength, a pillar in her community, and a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her family was her world, and she was theirs.

Marlene was the beloved mother of Mark, Kathy, Marlene, James, and Beth; cherished grandmother to Bethie, Kristie, James, Jill, Tina, Madison, Jessica, Colleen, and Kelly; and adoring great-grandmother to Emily, Nate, James, Ryan, Natalie, Abigail, and Paetyn. She was also an exceptional mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law. Marlene was preceded in death by her spouse, James Rementer; her mother, Elizabeth Davis; and her in-laws, Richard and Elizabeth Weidow.

As we remember Marlene, we find comfort in the words of Leo Buscaglia: "Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other." Marlene's life was a testament to this quote, a reminder that love, given freely and unconditionally, is the most meaningful gift we can offer.

Relatives and friends are invited to her visitation Monday November 17th 10:00 AM at the Reilly Rakowski Funeral Home 2632-34 E. Allegheny Ave. Phila., PA 19134. Memorial Service 12 NOON. Interment Private.
