Because it is a big part of her culture, Marie enjoyed hula dancing. She was also very proud of her family. She enjoyed family gatherings, especially when she could cook breakfast for all of them. Marie never seemed to meet a stranger; she made friends wherever she went. Marie loved to play bingo; she was a “Bingo Warrior”. She always loved taking her family with her to play bingo. She would play multiple cards and play her family members cards at the same time and would never miss a number. Please leave condolences for the family at www.roselawn-funerals.com
