Condolences
This is late and I am so sorry for being so. I will always remember Marie as the woman with a heart of gold and a judo flip that had no equal. It truly saddens me she is gone. Bob.
I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest sympathy to your family. I knew Marie as she was one of my favorite customers at Country Kitchen. She was truly a special lady and I have many fond memories of her. I had to work today or I surely would have come to pay my last respects…she will be in my heart forever!
Thoughts and prayers to Marie and her family.
Marie was one in a million. She was always there to listen, to laugh, to give advice and sometimes to chew you out if you needed it. I worked with Marie for many, many years in a ‘mans’ industry where she was one of the first female engineers. To say she stood her ground is an understatement, She had the perfect blend of toughness and sincere kindness. I know my life is better for have knowing Marie and I send my condolences to her family.
Marie was a terrific lady and a great neighbor. Our family will miss her very much.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Marie, she was a very nice lady and an excellent coworker.
I had the pleasure of meeting Marie when she volunteered to help us at First United Methodist with our children’s programs on Wednesdays. Her love of children and helping others helped to project her love of Christ to all of us involved in this program. Marie, you will be missed by many, but you now walk in the Lord’s wonderful garden.
