Marlene Avis Dyck was born on August 17, 1946 at Moose Jaw, SK to Sam & Evelyn Pickard. She started her laboratory technician training at Providence Hospital, Moose Jaw, SK and completed her training in Saskatoon, SK.

Marlene enjoyed going to the Calgary Stampede where in 1974 she met Ron and they were married in November of that same year. Another one of her passions was music. Marlene & Ron went to numerous concerts, both Country and Rock & Roll. They also enjoyed camping trips whenever possible. In 2006 Marlene & Ron moved to Swift Current, SK where she became a Red Hatter, and as such they regularly sang for seniors at the Prairie Pioneer Lodge as well as at a few other Senior Lodges.
