It was simple and beautiful in its own way for Marie....the service represented her life. She looked beautiful and ready to meet God.

"Marie was a quiet person who you must know to appreciate. Promptness and cooperation are the qualities stamped upon this pleasing character."

These words were written in the yearbook about Marie as a senior at
St. Mary High School. The staff and students send their prayers and sympathy to the family of one of our pioneer graduates.

Pat, although Marie was your step mother you took care of her in her final years,making sure she was cared for and taking care of things she was no longer able to do just like a daughter would for her mother. My prayers are with you.
