Bruce Willis‘ mother Marlene, 90, hailed ‚icon‘ of LAPD after 22 years volunteering

Bruce Willis‘ 90-year-old mother, Marlene Willis, has been honored as an „icon“ by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) after 22 years of dedicated volunteer service. Known affectionately as „Mrs. Willis“ at the West LA station, she continues to assist on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons by reviewing police reports and offering notes. Captain Rich Gabaldon praised her invaluable contribution, stating, „She’s an icon here.“ Marlene expressed her deep connection to the LAPD, referring to them as her „family“ and emphasizing her eagerness to help. Despite her son’s fame, she remains humble, with only a picture of them together as her computer screensaver. Former LAPD Chief Michel Moore acknowledged her as a symbol of the best in people, highlighting her belief in the department’s work. He previously recognized her as LAPD volunteer of the year and presented her with a badge as a token of appreciation. Moore expressed his gratitude, noting the lasting impression she has left on him.
