Marleen Dagmar (Link) Rodrigues, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully in her home in Walnut Hill, Fla. on Sept. 6, 2024.

She was born on July 8, 1940, in Germany to the late Herman and Erika Olga Link.

Marleen is preceded in death by her sister, Ingrid Prasuhn, whose memory she cherished dearly.

She’s survived by her loving husband, Frank, who was by her side for countless cherished moments over the last 62 years of marriage; her devoted daughter, Scarlett (Rodrigues) Henderson, who was inspired by her mother’s kindness, love and strength. Scarlett believes God chose the perfect mother to guide her through life. She was a proud and doting grandmother to Serenah Wakeman and Nickolas Rieth, who will always remember her as a source of wisdom, warmth, and unconditional love. Her legacy will live on through their fond memories and the values she instilled in them. They will always remember her as the most kind hearted and loving Omi and will ensure her memories are passed down through future generations. She is also survived by her brother, Tom Link, his wife, Erika Link; and their daughter, Kathrin Link, who shared many family celebrations and close bonds over the years.

A memorial mass will be held at Saint Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church, 600 S. Main St., Atmore, to honor Marleen’s life and the wonderful memories she leaves behind. Following the service, a reception will be held at the church hall. Her inturnment will take place at Holy Cross Cemetery 12th Ave. in Pensacola, Fla. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her memory to either Saint Roberts Bellarmine Catholic Church in Atmore, Alabama or a charity of choice.

Rest in peace, Marleen (Link) Rodrigues. You will be dearly missed and forever

remembered.
