edit: Marlene L. Wilcox, age 86, of Auburn, Indiana passed away on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at Parkview Hospital's Randalia Supportive Care Unit due to complications from a fall.
Mrs. Wilcox was born November 4, 1934 in Sherwood, OH to Estel and Nina (Durfey) Partee. She married Jack L. Wilcox on March 5, 1951 in Garrett, Indiana. He preceded her in death only five months prior on November 28, 2020. Theirs was a 70 year plus union experiencing many family and life adventures along with travel in the states and abroad. They especially enjoyed times at their Lake Gage and Florida homes along with their many travels to Germany. Marlene and Jack enjoyed collecting antiques, clocks from Germany, and RR & Train memorabilia. Marlene's favorite local day trip was shopping in Shipshewana, Indiana with her girlfriends!

Marlene had returned to GHS to obtain a diploma after leaving school to raise their three children. She was a member of the HS National Honor Society, a tutor, and mentor to many of the students. After, Mayor Miller's term ended, Marlene worked for the Garrett Clerk Treasurer, and the Haffner's Corporation. Marlene was a loving, devoted wife and mother who strongly believed that "family comes first."
