Margaret Marlene Comfort

May 12, 1942 - June 28, 2021

Margaret Marlene Comfort 79, of Saline, Michigan passed away peacefully on Monday, June 28, 2021. Marlene went to bed on the night of the 27th, and, after a long and restful nap, found herself with her Lord Jesus in Heaven on the night of the 28th. Any recollection of Marlene’s life would be remiss without discussion of what she believed to be her primary calling: that of a Foster Parent primarily (but not limited) to newborn children. It was her joy to provide love and care for these children between the time they were born and could find adoptive parents; a time frame that lasted from days to years for each child. In her later years Marlene trained for and became additionally certified to care for medically challenged children. Over her many years of service in this vocation over sixty children could, for a time, call Marlene “Mom.” Marlene’s other interests and talents included arts and crafts (she was particularly known for her tatted cross bookmarks and crocheted blankets for newborns); animals (she was especially fond of Dachshunds and horses), and following the Detroit Tigers. She was a member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saline. Marlene was born on May 12th, 1942, to Leo Luckhardt and Lorena (Kohler) Luckhardt, both of whom precede her in death. She is survived by her sister Loraine (Luckhardt) Harwick; her brother Doug Luckhardt; her two children, George (Janet) Ragle, and Daniel (Beth) Ragle; three grandchildren, Maureen Lauer, Nicole Ragle, and Ashley Ragle; and several nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren. Per Marlene’s wishes there will be no funeral or memorial service. To sign Marlene’s guestbook or leave a memory please visit www.rbfhsaline.com.
