Marie’s warm loving heart and smile will be greatly missed by her extended family and close friends. Marie valued many lasting friendships and time spent with family. She touched so many people in her life because of her kindness, love and ability to listen. She was at peace with her life, one spent loving and giving beyond measure, expecting nothing in return.
