Marline P. Gurney, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2025, at the age of 87. Born on September 14, 1937, in Lewiston, Maine, as the daughter of Lemuel T. Parker and Violet P. Parker of Livermore Falls, ME.
Known for her positive personality, warmth, kindness, and easy-going attitude, Marline dedicated her life to being an X-Ray Technician for 30 years retiring at age 62. She was always there with a listening ear and a comforting hug and always found time to make others feel loved.
She married Bob Gurney on December 20, 1957. They had two children, Robert (Skip) Gurney and Mary L. Bowman. She was also a proud grandmother to four grandchildren Renee, Matthew, Kayla, and Joseph. And she was a great grandmother to nine great grandchildren. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
Marline is survived by her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, a sister, and two brothers, and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband Bob who passed before her.
We want to say a special thank you to all the people at Bedside Manor Memory Care Facility that took great care of her while she was there. Also, a special thank you to Hospice people for their kindness and care.
There will be a small private family service held on June 5th at the Veterans Cemetery in Augusta.
