Phoenix (Ahwatukee), Arizona - It is with deep love and sadness that we share the passing of Marlene Myles, a 40 year resident of Ahwatukee (Phoenix).

In 1955, Marlene married the love of her life, Donald L. Myles, Sr., and together they raised three children: Don Jr., Leslie, and Lorie.

Marlene exuded a joyful, spirited energy throughout her life. She did double duty most Sundays, singing with the choir at Mountain View Lutheran Church then serving as a Eucharistic Minister at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. She often joked that she was covering all her bases! She volunteered with St. Vincent DePaul and enjoyed laughing with friends over a glass of wine at The Cellar in Ahwatukee where she became a regular. She filled every room with warmth and conversation. However, Marlene's true happiness was spending time with her family.

Marlene is lovingly remembered by her son Don (Doreen) Myles, her daughters Leslie (Dan) Crocchi and Lorie (Brian) McCann, and her cherished grandchildren: Heather, Steven, Mary, Tommy, Shawna, Scott, and Seth and great-grandchildren, Maddie and Ellie, who brought her immense joy.

Sadly, the world has lost someone who truly loved life, greeted family, friends and strangers with a smile, and embraced each day with an open heart. Mom, you will be forever in our hearts.

A Memorial Mass and reception will be held at 10:00am on Monday, November 3, 2025 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Phoenix (Ahwatukee), Arizona.
