Marlene Ruth Daly

Marlene Ruth Daly, 92, of Burlington died Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, at her home surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Marlene worked for Starr Kimball in West Burlington for three years after her eight years working as a National Researcher. She enjoyed her jobs over the years, but her most important job was caring for her family, at which she excelled.

She was a member of Divine Mercy Parish. Marlene enjoyed reading, writing letters, going on day trips and had a great love for animals.

But most of all she loved her family and being a grandmother. Even after with her struggles with dementia, she still would ask about her grandchildren weekly. Marlene will be remembered for her kind heart and gentle spirit.

Survivors include her children, John (Amy) Daly of Millington, Illinois, Joseph William Daly of Burlington, Jane Louise (Kyle) Olson of Burlington, and James (Mandy) Daly of Kewanee, Illinois; six grandchildren, Reece, Michael, Allisha, Matthew, McKenna, and Gabriel; two great-grandchildren, Gavin and Luka; sister, Mary Louise Kirk of Arizona, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents.
