Marie was incredibly kind and welcoming to everyone who came through her door. There was always a cup of tea and a plate of homemade goodies to be had. She loved her children dearly and made many sacrifices for them. Her grandchildren made her life complete and she loved spending time with them. She was an excellent cook and baker as anyone who has ever had her food can attest to; especially her homemade bread, donuts, potato salad and graham cracker pie. Marie was incredibly faithful and devoted to her church and the CWL (Catholic Women's League). She was a fighter as she proved right up to the end.
