Marlene Lashuk
Marlene Lashuk was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After graduating from high school, she worked at General Electric Company in drafting and engineering, which was where she met her husband Jerry. They soon moved to Syracuse, New York where their two daughters were born. Marlene was a Blue Bird and 4-H leader, taught Sunday School, held offices on PTAs, on a local pool board, and ran school concession stands. Ten years later after moving to Ellicott City MD, Marlene owned and ran two shops, a kitchen and a women’s clothing shop, in the old town of Ellicott City. Marlene retired to the Eastern Shore of MD because it reminds her of northern Indiana – flat and lots of farms, and she likes being near the water. Marlene enjoys needle arts, gardening, reading, and playing bridge.
