great-granddaughter, Cynthia Rendon and many, many nieces and nephews. Marlin, 
known as Nana to many was ones ideal definition of sunshine. She was so very 
versatile, intelligent, fun loving, and full of life. The love of her family 
kept her strong, and she embraced life, because of that. She was loved by so 
many and could brighten any room with her charisimatic personality, charm and 
optisim. Marlin was always involved in her community, and she never hesitated 
to give a helping hand to anyone that needed it. She was a member of the local 
Moose Lodge, and loved every moment of time that she was able to help. She was 
forever, a mother to all, and will be missed dearly. To honor her wishes, 
there will be no services. The family would like to thank all of the caring 
Doctors, Nurses, and staff at San Joaquin Community Hospital, and many, many 
thanks to the caring and compassionate staff at Optimal Hospice. In lieu of 
flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to your local Hospice 
Foundation in her honor.
