The shocking loss of an amazing women who gave so much to the community and the animals in Wallaceburg, shook so many within the animal community as well as with the many other organizations she worked with.
Marlene and her husband Larry bought the Wallaceburg Animal Shelter in 2005 they took a shelter that didn't adopt to the public, that killed every 72 hours and turned it into what it is today. The Wallaceburg shelter is no kill, offers a safe place for dogs to go when they are lost, when owners can no longer care for their animals and they also are the animal control for Wallaceburg and surrounding areas.
I can only imagine what her husband and family must be going through with her untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are with them in their time of need.
I have had the honor of working closely with the Wallaceburg Animal Shelter and was only getting to know the women who helped create this safe haven.
At this time things are business as usual at the shelter, I hope with the continued work at the shelter and within in the community we can honor her memory in a way that would make her proud.
