She is survived by her daughter Amanda Marquis and husband Donald, her grandson Jack and his siblings Riley and Griffin, her sister Jeanne Delmar, and her nieces and nephews Amy, Mark and Jon, Denise and Keith, Lauren, Scott and Curtis, and many grand and great-grand nieces and nephews whom she adored.
She was born in Boston on March 14, 1944 to her mother Helen P. (Rice) Bianchi, and father Delmo Bianchi. She is also predeceased by her loving husband Thomas A. Garvey, in 2007, her sister Eleanor, and brothers Eddie and Gene, and nieces Jeannie and Paula.
Marie grew up in Boston, then lived in Bridgewater for many years with her husband Tom. She worked various jobs where she no doubt made many friends, but retired from her favorite job as a teaching assistant for students with special needs, followed by a job as a secretary in the Bridgewater school system.
She loved God, and was part of the heart of Central Square Congregational Church where she was a Sunday school teacher, leader, and volunteer. She will be missed, especially by her good friend Debbie.
Marie was a loving wife, nurturing mother, and a good friend to so many people. Marie loved her family fiercely, and absolutely enjoyed family gatherings. Her infectious laugh was always heard around the one’s she loved. She was adored by her family as “Auntie Marie or Auntie Ree-Ree”.
She bravely moved to Maine over 12 years ago to live closer to her daughter, and the whole Marquis family welcomed her with open arms. Her grandson Jack named her “Mammie”, and was a bright light in her life. Jack and Mammie enjoyed riding her scooter, watching Ellen, doing puzzles, playing “cahds”, and snuggling her grandpuppies.
Marie touched many lives, was kind, and full of laughter.
