Marlo Elizabeth Durtschi passed away surrounded by love on January 31, 2026, in Seattle, Washington, at the age of 40.

Marlo was born on May 23, 1985, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Patricia and William. She spent her early years there before finding her forever home in Seattle—a city that reflected her vibrant spirit and where she built a life filled with love from family and friends.

Marlo was, simply put, extraordinary. She was a devoted mother, a loyal sister, and a deeply loved daughter. After earning her nursing degree, she became an exceptional nurse—one who brought not only skill, but genuine compassion to every patient she cared for. Her kindness, generosity, and ability to make others feel seen and comforted left a lasting impact on all who crossed her path.

She had a natural presence that lit up every room. Marlo had a gift for laughter, lifting others even in the hardest moments. Her bright, bubbly spirit shone through in everything she did—from hosting unforgettable gatherings to creating beautiful floral arrangements that reflected her creativity and love for others.

Marlo’s legacy lives on most powerfully through her daughter, Emma, who carries her strength, warmth, and light forward each day. Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave and the lives she touched will endure.

She will forever be remembered as a mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose presence made the world brighter. She is deeply missed and will be cherished always.

Marlo now rests in peace—a peace that eluded her at times in life, but one she so deeply deserves.
