Marlene Badger - (photograph to come)
Vivacious, feisty, and a gravediggers' daughter, Marlene has been studying genealogy for over thirty years. "I love cemeteries," she says. "I spent hours playing in our church graveyard as a child while my mother attended church business meetings." Currently, Marlene has over 1,000 researched histories in her own collection and is always searching for more. Adept at finding those missing links, she is extremely generous with her personal time. She has recorded Barrens Cemetery, and is almost finished with the Dillsburg Route 15 Cemetery. Her information has been donated to several historical societies.
