Marie is survived by her sisters, Carolyn Ann Miller and Pauline Spooner, as well as many nieces and nephews who were dear to her heart. Her family and friends will remember her warmth, kindness, and the deep love she had for them.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her brother-in-laws Jim Miller and Wayne Spooner.

The family would like to thank Key Jefferson for her care and support to Marie.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Immanuel Baptist Church or a charity of choice in Marie’s memory.

Marie’s legacy of faith, love, and creativity will continue to inspire and be cherished by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed but fondly remembered.
