Marlene Irene (Rutkowski) Bukowski
December 14, 1939 - December 22, 2023
Marlene Irene Bukowski, 84, of Metamora died unexpectedly Friday, December 22, 
2023.  Marlene was born December 14, 1939, at the house in Ubly, Michigan to 
Stanley and Frances (Osentoski) Rutkowski.  She was the valedictorian at Ubly 
High School, class of 1957.  During school she was active in band and 
cheerleading.  She married Ronald Bukowski on November 8, 1958, in Ubly.

Marlene (& Ron) raised seven kids - family was her focus.  She was the best Mom 
any child could ask for.  As the kids grew older Marlene found time to work 
outside the home as well.  She worked a while for Wiser Oil in Metamora but 
eventually worked many years and retired from MSP (Michigan Special Products) in 
Oxford.  In her spare time Marlene kept beautiful vegetable & flower gardens and 
loved mowing the lawn.  She was an avid reader, loved the Detroit Tigers, and 
adored knitting - she often donated her knitting items to charities or simply 
gave them as gifts.  Her kindness was a product of Marlene living the gospel.  
Marlene was a devout catholic.  

Marlene is survived by her children: Denise (John) Morris of Lapeer, Sue 
Pospisil of Metamora, Sharon Sanborn of Lapeer, Russell (Tracy) Bukowski of 
Lapeer, Jean (Ben) Wagner of Lake Orion, and Philip Bukowski of Metamora; 10 
grandchildren: Matt (Brooke) Morris, Mike (Adrianne) Morris, Mitch (Keelia) 
Morris, Alex (Chris) Lambertson, Zac (Michaela) Sanborn, Miranda (Ethan) Sox, 
Kansas Bukowski, Jimmy Bukowski, Ava Wagner and Rosie Wagner; 9 great-
grandchildren: Emily, Taylor, Gabriella, Michael, Henry, Finley, Isaac, Levi and 
Greyson; 6 sisters: Shirley Piontkowski of Ubly, Reta (Larry) Wehner of Harbor 
Beach, Ilene (Tim) Topolinski of Caledonia, Betty (Gerald) Echenswiller of Troy, 
Kay VanErp of Canton and Darlene Rutkowski of the Villages, Florida; sister-in-
law, Pat Rutkowski of Reese.  She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.  
She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Randy Bukowski (2 weeks ago, to 
the day); husband, Ronald Bukowski; brothers: Richard Rutkowski and Marion 
Rutkowski; sisters: Virginia Rutkowski and Carol Lamke; and her aforementioned
