Marie was employed by the Mt. Morris school district for over 30 years as a librarian and over that period of time helped to give hundreds of elementary school children the gift of being able to read. She also fixed scraped knees, soothed hurt feelings, kept kids in line, and broke up the occasional playground fight. She was a union representative who fought for the rights of women in the workplace before it was fashionable to do so. Marie was a past president of the Clio eagles and represented them on the state level. She would help anyone, at any time, in any way, always adding that extra touch to make sure things were just right.

They embarked on a thirty-year love affair which consisted of crafting, rummage sales, antiques, travel, and most importantly doting on their grandchildren. They purchased a Victorian style home in Beaverton that they brought back to life. Her personal touches would have been the envy of both Martha Stuart and Bronner’s of Frankenmuth. She was a creative and talented individual who lived for her grandchildren and made their visits to her home magical.
