Marlene Ann Miller

Marlene Ann (Burcham) Miller, age 85 passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family in Columbus, Ohio on Monday, June 19, 2017. Marlene was born on July 24, 1931 in Springfield, Ohio to the late Courtney and Anna Caplinger.

She moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1960 where she raised her three children but never left behind her love for Schuler's whole wheat donuts. Marlene loved to travel and was able to do so through her career with Quick Air Freight. In her retirement she helped sweeten the lives of others working at Anthony Thomas Candy Company. She was an avid Elvis fan and rarely missed a performance by her favorite "Elvis" Mike Albert when he was in town. She was always the first on the dance floor, especially when The Alexander Band played Kansas City.

She was devoted member over the years of the Worthington Loyal Order of Moose, Chapter 1427 where she met and married her husband Robert "Bob". They honeymooned and celebrated several anniversaries at Cedar Point. But most precious to Marlene was her family. She is survived by her husband of four years Robert Miller of Columbus; her eldest son, Kimm Burcham; daughter, Teresa Burcham and youngest son, James (Kristy) Burcham, all of Columbus; grandchildren, Kitt Burcham, Alexis Burcham, Jack Burcham, Thomas Burcham, Wat Cecil, Anna Cecil, Zowie (Kristin) Cecil, Sierra (Nathan) Poland, Marissa Burcham; and four great grandchildren, Iris, Zoah, Sophia "Poe" and Liam.
