Marlene was born August 13, 1946, in St. Cloud, Minnesota, the daughter of Kathryn (Nohner-Schmit) and Louis Lezer. She graduated from St. Cloud Technical High School in 1964. Marlene married her high school sweetheart, Roger A. Chirhart, on July 17, 1965, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in St. Cloud. They happily spent the next 56 years together. She and Roger had three children, Michelle, and twins, Michael and Mark. She was the best mother who stayed home to raise her three children and continued taking care of them with her motherly advice until they reached their fifties. After raising her children, she worked at the St. Cloud Hospital in the Laundry Department for 22 years, retiring in 2003. One of the biggest joys in her life was the birth of her only granddaughter, Allison, who she doted on and was so proud of.  Marlene was a devoted Elvis fan, loved to read, and loved a good glass of wine.

Marlene is survived by her husband, Roger; daughter, Michelle (Jerry Morford) Chirhart of St. Cloud; sons, Michael of Sartell and Mark of Minnetonka; granddaughter, Allison Stein; brothers, Jerry (Carol) Schmit of Ramsey; sisters, Betty Gaida of Holdingford and Gloria (Don) Lenzen of St. Cloud.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Daniel Schmit, Dennis Schmit, and William Schmit.

Nana, I still miss you everyday. I have been watching home movies of all the good times we had-your 60th party, my birthday parties, the zoo, boat rides, the day I got my barbie jeep, etc. I love you and will never forget.

I was just at the Wake. What a nice service. With all my heart, please except my condolence. I see how wonderful n Beautiful that she was. I remember her after seeing her picture of living 3 houses away on 3rd st. Seeing her n others that attended the wake. It brought me back to a young kid again, n the fish frys.Allison had a heart warming letter about her grandma n the times about being with her grandma. I also remember that parking lot across from their house. I could go on n on about her, n her husband, her children, n her wonderful granddaughter. Again, I am so, so sorry for your loss. May she Rest In Peace, n for your hearts be healed!!!!

Roger, Michelle, Mike and Mark! I am so sorry for your loss. Always will remember Marlene. Always enjoyed talking with her! She was a presence at the hospital when my folks were going thru surgeries, etc. nice to see a friendly face there when my loved one was going through major surgery! Also, me as a teen, and friends with Michelle, funny, I remember she was an Elvis fan! God Bless you all!
