“I loved you yesterday, love you today, I’ll love you tomorrow… forever”
Marlene Joyce Hyte, 80, passed away on Saturday, August 15, 2020 peacefully at home with her loving and devoted husband Ronald by her side. Marlene was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 12, 1940 to Lloyd Virgil and Marjorie June Metcalf.
She graduated from Olympus High School and attended the University of Utah. Marlene married her sweetheart Ronald on August 30, 1962 in Idaho Falls, Idaho in the LDS temple. They shared 58 years together. They raised five children; four sons and one daughter. Their family grew to include 15 fabulous grandchildren, a recently welcomed great grandson, and another on the way.
Being a Mom, raising her kids and taking care of the family gave her great joy.
Marlene loved meeting and getting to know people. She was known to many as a friendly face at the Pacific Rails Credit Union where she worked for many years. She later worked at the University Credit Union and Credit Union Service Centers. She often spoke fondly of the wonderful members that would visit with her when they came into the branch for service and would share their greetings. Marlene was a great friend to many. She loved her friend network, including her very close school group, her work, and even friends online with whom she built close relationships.
She loved to sew, cook, and host dinners for family and friends – especially during the holidays. Marlene is survived by her husband Ronald Duane Hyte; five children Randal (Kathy), James (Kristy), Jeffrey (Tracie), Marianne Veras (Freddy), Daniel (Traci); and her siblings Patricia Metcalf and Jon Metcalf.

Dear Hyte family. We are so sorry for your loss. I loved being Marlene’s visiting teacher for many years. She loved telling me about her wonderful family and I enjoyed hearing about them. May our Heavenly Father bless you with peace and comfort at this difficult time. Our love. Sandy and Mel Dunkley
Dear Ron and Family,
We were sadden to read of the passing of Marlene, she was a great friend and neighbor. I was her visiting teacher and really enjoyed visiting with her. She always welcomed us in her home and we had nice visits.
She was a great lady and will be missed by many. We would like to extend our sympathy to you at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
