Marlene Lenore Ivie-Bone was born on March 15, 1962 to Iris and Vivian Ivie in Challis, Idaho. Marlene was the fifth of six siblings, Theresa, Kim, Brent, Mark and Ronda.

Marlene always had a thirst for adventure, a drive to help others, and a love for animals large and small. Marlene primarily lived in Idaho, until she married her college sweetheart, Gordon Bone in 1981. Together, they traveled the United States during his 30 + year career in the United States Army eventually retiring in Maine. They had four children, Janessah, Jennifer, Josh, and Ashleigh.

Marlene strived to be the best mother, grandmother and wife she could be, always there to love and support. But her love and support did not end with her children. Marlene was always ready to help whomever needed it, surpassing no judgment, and accepting others no matter their differences.

Marlene was a bright light to all who knew her. She loved her family and friends more than anything else in the world.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday August 23rd at 1pm at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Arco. She will be laid to rest next to her mother and many other family members who welcomed her in heaven.
