Marie was born on April 7,1957 in Africville Halifax, NS, raised in Uniacke Square, Halifax, NS. As the years went by Marie, later than migrated to Ontario, to be closer to her sisters. Marie was a woman of remarkable character, dedicated her life to serving others through various occupations including caregiving, hospitality and construction at an early age. Along with helping to care for her siblings Marie, started out working at Stadacona as a Janitor for a number of years also a Chambermaid at The Lord Nelson Hotel where her role kept her there for a long period of time. Marie was also in the Construction field, where she was demolishing and rebuilding buildings. Marie was a jack of all trades. But most of all Marie was a Caregiver throughout all her life something she did with pride and love.

Marie loved cleaning, cooking, singing, dancing, carrying on, Family Functions/Reunions, traveling and she also loved to be the center of attention, no one could take that from her with the spark that she already had naturally. With her bold personality she never bit her tongue, she always expressed how she felt, rather if you liked it or not. Marie's devotion of love for people was reflected in her various roles and ways.

Marie was a child of God, she was a woman of strong faith and her love for God was evident, she loved the Lord with all her heart and she would let it be known. Marie was the life of any party, where ever her presence was, she left a mark. Marie was so vibrant, caring, free hearted, loving, outspoken, comical, and a burst of energy. When it came to style and fashion she could not be matched. She was a Class Act.

She was affectionately known, most referred to her as Patti Labelle.

Marie will always be celebrated for her impeccable character, her presence, charm and free spirit, lightening up every room she entered. Marie had a heart of Gold and she would give you the shirt from off her back with all the love in the world to go along with it.
