Marie was known for having a generous and kind heart and was loved by all who knew her. She had a great love of animals and she had many friends, but above all things she loved and valued her family. Marie defined herself by her endless generosity and unfailing commitment to welcome friends and family into her home without question and share her life and love with them. She helped countless people that needed her love and a place to stay as they traveled their own journeys. We are all better for having shared our lives and time with her.

She is survived by her two daughters, two granddaughters and three great grandchildren.

Marie will be deeply missed by family and friends alike, as we all try to live as she did, selfless and generous, kind and supportive, and willing to give more than we receive.
