Marelen Martha Hines, 80, entered into rest peacefully on September 1, 2020 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Tony, Jeanette I am so sorry to hear about your most precious loss. God will never leave you, he will be the “footsteps in the sand “. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. MS. CLARA, NASHVILLE TN
All my memories of Bema are full of her smile and laughter. No matter what, she always seemed to be having fun! Rest In Peace and Love, Adriel Martin
While there are so many memories that come to mind about my Beautiful Diva Aunt Marlene Brown’Hines, this one in particular comes to mind! It was during one of the many times I got to spend the weekend over the house to hang out with Andre and Arnell (Peanut) and that weekend happend to be the one in which Aunt Marlene had set aside to have the family’s portrait taken… Andre wanted to go outside and play before they left to go to the studio for the family’s portrait with the instructions from Aunt Marlene “Not” to mess up his clothes, well Andre didn’t mess up his clothes but he did get into a little accident that caused him to trip and scar up a section of his face which could be seen in the portrait and to say Aunt Marlene was none to please was an understatement!! Like I said my late Aunt was a no nonsense boss Lady who said what she meant and meant what she said and for that character trait alone I’ll always remember, cherish and love her… May You Rest Eternally With God Aunt Marlene!!!
Rest easy knowing That Queen has received her crown! Keeping you prayerfully lifted. We love you.
