Marlene Katherine Black, age 85, passed away June 11 in Lindsborg, Kansas. She was someone who was handed challenge after challenge, and she met each with grace, kindness, and steadfast faith.

She was born in Colwich, Kansas in 1935 to Aloysius “Alex” and Lucille Rau and was the oldest of nine children. When she was in high school, her family moved to Page City to farm, and she met her first husband, James Harper. When she was 17, they married. They had their first child a little over a year later, and then three more. When Marlene was just 24, Jim died of lung cancer. It was then that she rose to one of the greatest challenges of her life. She moved back to Colwich so that extended family could assist her. She also attended a Wichita business college so she could find work as a secretary.

In 1961, she married John “Gene” Lorson and they lived on his family farm near Hope. They had five more children. She devoted her life to caring for her children and stretching every penny by sewing, cooking, gardening, and canning. She often did farm chores and for a short time, took a job in a sewing factory in Herington to make ends meet. But somehow she also managed to make time for her community, church, children’s activities, and extended family. In 1979, she re-entered the professional world as the school district secretary.

The couple divorced and Marlene moved to Halstead to work as the school secretary there. She married Willis “Pete” Black in 1991 and entered into a happy period of her life. The couple traveled, and Marlene finally had the leisure to take up quilting with a passion, garden for fun, and bake for pleasure. She deeply enjoyed time with her children and grandchildren. Sisters’ weekends, complete with locations around the country, games, and costumes were a treasured annual highlight.

After Pete’s death in 2000, Marlene struggled with Parkinson’s disease and other health problems. She moved to a senior facility in Salina in 2009 and then another in Lindsborg in 2015, close to daughters Debbie and Susan, who provided exceptional care.

She is survived by children Debbie Pientka (Bob, Deanna Rowland (Les, Susan Hemphill, Mary Vergenes (Mark, Veronica Fowler, Joe Lorson (Tamara, Dan Lorson (Marci, John Lorson (Denise) and Tom Lorson; siblings Pat Seiler, Phyllis Theis, Dee Marnane, Carol Thimesch, and Fred Rau, as well as 19 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by stepchildren Willisa and Perry Ensz and Karen Black, three step-grandchildren and six step-great grandchildren.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the rosary and memorial mass will be limited to immediate family members only, but we are extremely grateful for prayers said for her by our extended family and her many friends.

The family suggests memorials be given to Bethany Home in Lindsborg, KS. Memorials may be dropped off or mailed to Ryan Mortuary, 137 N 8th St, Salina, KS, 67401.
