Marla Saarinen

May 9, 1952 — August 25, 2025

Marla Saarinen, age 73, peacefully passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and kindness. She dedicated her life to caring for others, working as a CNA, and sharing her passion for hospitality as a restaurant owner. A passionate traveler, Marla delighted in exploring the world and experiencing new cultures and sights. Her love for nature was evident in her devotion to her garden, where her green thumb brought plants, flowers, and trees to life, reflecting her nurturing spirit. She survived by her four children, eleven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren, all of whom cherish her memory. Marla’s warmth, wisdom, and love will forever be in our hearts. Her legacy of compassion and her beautiful garden will be missed but always remembered.
