Marlene Ann Noll, age 82, of Spirit Lake and formerly of Sioux City, passed away on April 3, 2025, at Accura Healthcare in Spirit Lake.

Marlene was born on December 28, 1942, in Ida Grove, Iowa, to Lavern "Doe" and Anna Roll. She graduated from Odebolt Arthur Community School in 1961.

On November 4, 1962, Marlene was united in marriage to Leslie Howard Noll at the Odebolt Methodist Church. The couple made their home in Sioux City, Iowa, where Marlene worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses before retiring from Novelty Machine Supply Company.

In December 2003, Marlene and Les retired to Spirit Lake, Iowa—a place they had long cherished, having spent many years enjoying their trailer by the lake. They embraced retirement together, often traveling and spending winters in Mission, Texas, where they built many lasting friendships. One of Marlene’s most cherished memories was traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina, and experiencing the thrill of a NASCAR ride.

Marlene had a love for collecting teddy bears and a passion for adventure. She and Les were inseparable—always side by side. As a close friend once said, “they were joined at the hip.”

She is survived by her loving husband Les of Spirit Lake, along with many cousins and dear friends. Marlene was preceded in death by her mother Anna Streed, stepfather George Streed, father Lavern (Doe) Roll, and her grandparents.
