Marlene Gem Anderson's Obituary
Marlene Gem Anderson, 71, of Superior, died Friday, August 22, 2014, at Solvay Hospice House, Duluth, surrounded by her family.
She was born February 10, 1943, in Superior, Wis., daughter of Alvin and Verna Gem (Southwick) Peltzer.
As a young lady working the lunch counter at Newberry's, Marlene met her husband to be, Ronald F. Anderson. Ron and Marlene were married November 30, 1963, in Superior.
Following her employment at Newberry's, she worked for Douglas County, Supertown South and American Family Insurance.
Marlene was a long time member of Bethel Lutheran Church and it's church choir and deacon board, Bethel Lutheran Church Women, Relay for Life, Red Hat Ladies, and the Sisterhood of the Faded Swimsuits. Some of her many interests included baking, flower gardening, knitting, crocheting, sewing, reading, music, Minnesota Vikings, pet dogs, various crafts and Duke basketball. Her cake baking talents were second to none and for many she was known as, "The Cake Lady". Yes, Marlene had many memberships and interests; however, her greatest love was her family.
