One never needed to ask where you stood with Marie, because she was never shy about letting anyone know her feelings. Marie loved caring for all living things, particularly those in need. She had a beautiful garden and loved animals. But most of all, she loved her husband, her boys, and her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Marie was a longtime member of the Jones Chapel Church of Christ and attended Peytonsville Church of Christ.
