Marlene Krainson Webster Pratt

Marlene Krainson Webster Pratt, 71, passed away on October 21, 2007 from complications following a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born on December 28, 1935 in Flushing, New York to Albert Krainson and Anna Slonus Krainson. Marlene lived in many locations throughout her exciting life including Florida, Utah, Alaska, Oregon and Washington. She was a world traveler and enjoyed sharing her many adventures with friends and family. A highly skilled and gracious hostess, Marlene retired in 2005 from 20 years of charter yachting in Southeast Alaska. She also owned a jewelry business on Mercer Island, WA and worked at Hill Air Force Base in Utah while raising her two sons.
