Marie was a loving mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She cherished her time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren. Over her lifetime she collected an antique doll collection which she admired and displayed in her homes. In her spare time, Marie enjoyed going to the Casinos with her friends and attending her senior trips at the Community Center.
