Last Friday, on the eve of the full moon, Marlene Dickey was showered with love and music from those who were privileged to join and celebrate her in a Song Circle in Olga.
At 2:10 a.m. on Saturday, August 29, 2015 Marlene passed away, with friends Lois and Suzanne by her side.
Our Marvelous Marlene will always be the glittering, sparkling spirit we know and love so much. We send gratitude to all of our community for their support. Plans for a Celebration of Marlene’s Life will be posted at a future date.

Oh, what a loss! Dear Marlene, you were one of a kind and we’ll be the poorer for losing you to whatever sparkling adventure awaits you now. Keep singing, sweet friend!
You will be missed, Marlene, such a loss to us and our Island community.

Marlene, a massively multi-talented woman, who always “brought it” with realness.
I will miss her ever-supportive, artistic spirit!
You will be missed by all the people you touched. I’ll especally miss you smile and sense of humor.
