On Tuesday, October 21, 2025, Marlene Elizabeth Little, of Columbiana, OH, passed away at her residence. She was born September 20, 1952, to Chancellor and Arlene (Dunlap) Shodd.
Marlene worked at Walmart during her career. She found joy in the holiday season—especially anything related to Santa Claus, and enjoyed making jewelry and crocheting. Her love for pets and the time she spent with friends brought her great happiness.
She is remembered by her son, Richard Little, and Tammy George of Columbiana, Ohio; brother, Roy Shodd of George; and four grandchildren: Mearl, Wilbur, Michael, and Sarah.
Marlene was preceded in death by her parents and by her husband of 46 years, Carl Little, who was also her high school sweetheart.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
