Our beautiful mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, Marie, was called home by her Heavenly Father on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1994, after complications from an accidental fall and bout with pneumonia and heart condition.
Marie's gracious spirit and toughness helped her to endure as she fought a courageous battle with life. In spite of her suffering she retained her love and gentle ways and concerns for others. She always smiled and told us "not to worry, that everything would be fine." She had a gentle way, a gracious spirit and a giving heart.
