Marlene Conway, Bishop, CA— The community of Bishop is deeply saddened by the passing of Marlene Conway, who passed away on August 7, 2024, at her home at Southern Inyo Hospital. Marlene was a cherished member of the Inyo Mono Association for the Handicapped (IMAH) and a beloved part of the Southern Inyo Hospital family. Her strength and grace, especially in overcoming breast cancer three times, made her a true fighter and an inspiration to those who knew her.
Marlene’s passing leaves a profound gap, as she had no direct family, but was surrounded by a community that loved her like family. In an effort to honor her memory and provide her with the burial and celebration of life she deserves, a fundraiser has been organized by Jenny Park, a close friend. The funds will go towards her burial plot, a headstone, and a celebration of life ceremony. Any remaining funds will be donated to the Southern Inyo Hospital’s Skilled Nursing Facility.
The fundraising campaign has already raised $75, thanks to generous donations from Judy Miller and Jjeanette Sprague. Those wishing to contribute can do so through GoFundMe or directly at IMAH’s Sierra Thrift Mall.
On social media, many have expressed their sorrow. Jenny Park shared, “Marlene meant the world to me!! She wasn’t just a client, she was family.” Sunny Paszkiewicz and Jennifer Pahlow also shared their heartbreak, with Sunny writing, “Oh nooooo,” and Jennifer expressing, “Not Mo!!!”
Marlene’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched, and the community will remember her as a true IMAH star, missed beyond words.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends, colleagues, and the entire community mourning her loss.
