Marlene A. Libecap, age 72, of Eaton, OH passed away on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at Reid Health in Richmond, IN. She was born on May 13, 1952 in Dayton, OH to the late John C. and Annie F. (McCarty) Crank. Marlene was a wonderful loving and caring wife, the best sister, mother, grandmother and aunt. She enjoyed singing, dancing, and playing her guitar and ukulele for her family. She was an avid fisherman, enjoyed the outdoors, bird watching and train ride journeys all over America with her husband. Most of all she loved gathering with her family. She was a light that brightened any room. A child of God that read her Bible and witnessed faithfully. She had open arms to all that knew her and for 72 years, our loving queen always said her goodbyes with “Bye Love Ya”.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Linda Upton; and brother Gary Crank.
