Marie’s children were her greatest joy in life. Marie loved crafting, gardening, tending to her flowers, camping, cards, puzzles, and board games.

She spent many hours volunteering for fundraisers for the Blindman Youth Center. Marie donated many handmade blankets to the residents at the Valley View Manor and the Women’s Shelter in Red Deer.
Another great joy in Marie’s were her six grand-nephews and her grand-niece. She spent many hours creating perfect gifts for them, as well as for her nieces and nephews. Marie especially enjoyed the time spent with her mom. They spent many hours working together in the yard. Marie loved holiday celebrations, family get-togethers, wiener roasts and the days spent each fall helping prepare apple dishes that were then given to family and friends.
