Marlene J. Scharback (nee Miller), 91, a longtime resident of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2024 at Danbury Regional Hospice in Danbury, CT.

She was born on January 7th, 1933 in East Orange, NJ, the daughter of Herman and Luise (nee    Seeburger) Miller.

Marlene was predeceased by her parents Herman and Luise Miller, and her brother Herbert Miller.  Her husband of 64 years, Ronald Scharback predeceased her in 2017.

Marlene grew up in Bloomfield, NJ.  She later made her home in Westwood, NJ with husband Ronald and her two children.  For many years, Marlene was a preschool teacher’s assistant. Marlene enjoyed reading, sewing, golfing, cooking and baking (especially all kinds of Christmas Cookies).  Later in life, she also enjoyed playing cards, mahjong, and bingo. She travelled to many countries with Ron, friends, and family.  They especially liked taking cruises.
