Marlene Bero Guion, a deeply caring and compassionate woman known for her generosity, kindness, and unwavering dedication to family, passed away on May 20, 2026, in Torrance. Born on August 19, 1935, Marlene's life was marked by a profound love for her family and a rich tapestry of interests that brought joy to those around her.
Marlene was a devoted mother who took great pride in raising her four daughters, Elizabeth Nanette Dalo, Theresa Rojes, Margaret Carvalho, and Denise Guion. Her legacy extended beyond her immediate family to include cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she loved dearly.
