Marcene Oakey Romrell, passed away on December 24, 2022, at her home in Idaho Falls, Idaho, after a long battle with ovarian cancer.
She was born March 29, 1957, to Gary and Floriene Oakey in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
In 1978, she married Garth Romrell, and they had five daughters. They later divorced.
She spent many years as a stay-at-home mom. She graduated from ISU with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting. At the time of her death, she worked as a CPA for Riverbend Management. Her family would like to express their deep appreciation for the support they showed her over the course of her illness.
She loved her ‘tribe’ of friends and spent a lot of time on adventures with them. She loved to go to concerts, trivia nights, and parties. She took trips of a lifetime with them to Belize and Hawaii.
She especially loved her grandkids, Ethan, Max, Oliver, Harrison, Isla, Mae, Vivian, and Bennett. She loved finding little knickknacks that she knew they would enjoy, and up until her last moments, would light up when one of them entered the room.
From the moment Mom was diagnosed with cancer almost 6 years ago, she decided that she’d be as positive as she possibly could and that she’d fight as hard as she could. She maintained that spirit and that energy up until her last moments.
She is survived by her daughters, Cami Elmore (Josh), Jillian Briggs, Jackie Romrell Anderson (Patrick), McKenzie Biddulph (Dan), Rikee Romrell; her 8 grandchildren; her siblings, Gaylene Spataro (Stephen) of Leavenworth, Kansas, Lynette Denning of Orem, Utah, Kendel Oakey (Amy) of Orem, Utah; and her brother-in-law, Lynn Jorgensen of Idaho Falls, Idaho.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved sister, Colette Jorgensen; brother-in-law, Kyle Denning; and niece, Melissa Stockhoff.
