Glad I can call her my friend
One fine lady I will miss.
I was in Bible study class with Marie many years ago. I will always remember her wisdom and wit. She always made me smile. God bless all of you at this time.
Sending the family love and praying for comfort during this difficult time of loss.
Our sympathy is extended to Marie’s entire family for their sad loss of one of God’s favorite children. Along with her many friends and acquaintances, we will miss her, her funny stories, that unique hearty laugh, gracious spirit, and faithful living.
Marie was a sweet neighbor, always pleasant and cheerful. She will be missed.
Even as we grieve her loss, Heaven is smiling with Marie. She gave us many years of her love and laughter from the early days at St. Timothy UMC where we shared church activities and barbeques to our later fun outings as “bodacious” Red Hat ladies. Marie was filled with light and leaves us with dear and special memories that will never fade.
