Marlane Orlandi
Marlane Orlandi, 76, passed away suddenly on September 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born on March 10, 1950, Marlane lived a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to those closest to her. She will be remembered for her warm smile, caring heart, helping hand, and the special way she made everyone around her feel loved and welcome. Her pound cake, Jewish apple cake, and cookies always brought a smile.
Marlane found great happiness at the beach, where she enjoyed the sunshine, blue skies, gentle ocean breezes, warm water, music, and time spent with family and friends. Her joyful spirit was perfectly captured in the words she lovingly made her own:
“The sun is shining,
the sky is blue,
I’m sitting here sipping my brew.”
Above all, Marlane treasured her family. She was a devoted mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, and friend. The love she shared will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Ben Miller; granddaughters Samantha Middleton (Ryne) and Nicole Miller (Reis); brother Perry Fostar; and sisters Elizabeth Macharyas, Cathryn Fostar, Sophie McComb (Jim), and Barbara Franco (Larry). She was preceded in death by her sister, Anna Mae Fostar, and brothers John, Nicholas, and Anthony Fostar.
Family and friends are invited to attend visitation for Marlane on Wednesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Cyril’s Catholic Church, 1410 Almshouse Road, Jamison, PA. Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Resurrection Cemetery, 5201 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to leukemia.org, or that you honor Marlane by remembering her whenever you are at the beach.
Forever loved, forever missed, forever remembered.
I will miss your holiday greetings and our Phillies and Eagles bantering. RIP, my friend
Marlane.....you will truly be missed. One of the realest women I have ever met. The Finance Dept. of the City of Philadelphia is definitely in morning. That pound cake, what can I say (smiling). I love pound cake and yours was the best. I already have missed you since you retired, but knowing you won't visit us again is truly saddening. I love you.
Dear Miller and Fostar Families, So sorry for your sudden loss. I would like to include some things I will miss. I will miss Marlene's laugh. I could hear it coming in my front windows when she was talking to neighbors passing by (especially Casey), it always made me smile. Oh,we can’t forget the snowmen she built. While the rest of us where complaining about the snow she looked at it as “When life gives you snow make a snowman”.⛄️ Again, so sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace and comfort in the memories you built as a family, a family she loves so deeply. Love never dies.🙏 Rest in Peace Dear Neighbor, You will be surely missed.
I’m saddened by the loss of my friend. Although we never met we talked daily. Now she will be talking with Jesus.
I LOVE and miss you my FRIEND ❤️

She will be in our hearts forever and love will sustain forever and ever.
