From Alex Magdaleno to the Berendo gang:
It is with great sadness we inform you that after a long illness Marla passed away on April 28th. Marla was born in Los Angeles August 9, 1940. The Berendo gang has always felt like our extended family and I am sure Marla could remember everyone's birthday to the end. She often talked about her wonderful memories of the neighborhood. We all have played cards with her or been teased by her at one time or other. To the end she remained outgoing and strong-willed and handled her infirmities with great courage. She loved chatting with people, playing games and traveling (not hiking!). For many years she lived independently in her own apartment in Port Hueneme and the past 14 years had her own bedroom in a group home in Granada Hills where she charmed the staff with her spunk.
We plan to hold a memorial celebrating her life in Camarillo and will provide details later. In lieu of flowers you may honor Marla's memory with donations to the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation, address: 6430 Independence Ave, Woodland Hills 91367
