She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend whose kindness and warmth touched everyone she met. She lived a full and beautiful life centered around family, faith and friendship.

She lived her faith through service and love.

Marie had a passion for staying active, gardening and being surrounded by nature, especially the beach, her happy place. She loved to travel with family and friends, creating memories that will be cherished forever. Those who knew her will remember her laugh, generosity and the way she made everyone feel special.
