Also Known as Gumma, Goom and Mim, Marie was a graduate of St. Michael's High School in Union City and was employed by Kurt Adler Holiday Decoration Co. as an office manager for over 30 years. Marie was known for her cooking and baking and beautiful blue eyes! She was also known to have a Manhattan...or 2, (as long as she already made the gravy for dinner!)
