She was the loving mother of Gail (Alex Martinez) Harrison and the late Dean E. Harrison; beloved sister of Allen (Wanda) Dixon and the late Riley Dixon. She is also survived by nieces and nephews and their families, as well as many surrogate grandchildren.
Marie was a devout Christian and loved her Lord. She taught Sunday School at First Baptist Church in Cary for over 50 years and was active at First Presbyterian Church, Murryville, PA, while living with her daughter. She raised her family with love, laughter and joy. Marie raised her family in the church, exposing them to a variety of arts, cultural, and sporting events, but allowing them to choose their own directions in life based on their interests, but with strong ethics and integrity. After moving in with her daughter, she lovingly earned the title of official Crazy Cat Lady.
