Born on November 5th 1931, in West Milford, New Jersey. Marie was born at home and delivered by her paternal grandmother as 1 out of 10 siblings. She was always a caregiver of others. From her five children to her great great-grandchildren. She worked as a caregiver of seniors at the Homestead Nursing Home in New Jersey and then as a caregiver to toddlers and babies at Roebuck Baptist Church Daycare in Pinson, Alabama.
She will be remembered as a strong, loving, independent, hardworking wife, mother, grandmother and Nana. Marie was loved by all. In her free time, Marie loved reading, crocheting, and cooking for others.

The Head Stone:
Don’t bury me up in that cemetery
Where I am just a name on a stone
Soon forgot and left alone
Where the acid rain will erase my name
And I will be just a number on a plot
Scatter part of me on that mountain top
To be part of that Majestic backdrop
And to mingle with the snowdrop
And take me to the woods
Where I can be part of the sapling
Then my cremation can become a creation
An oxygen emanating tree, breath giving and free
Take me to the meadow, I’ll be new grown grass
I’ll wave in the breeze as lovers pass
Or float me on the sea,
And let the sun glisten on me
Or cast me to the winds
So I can fly with the birds, give me wings.
Don’t bury up in that cemetery
I don’t want that to be my lot
I don’t want flowers, I know you care
For you were always there.
Spread me around, if that’s possible to do
But save some of me to be near you.
-Harry Taylor
