Marie and her husband moved from Canada to Melbourne, Florida in 1956 where they raised a family, owned a business, and ultimately retired. She was a dedicated wife and mother who gave of herself unselfishly for the benefit of her family. She continued this commitment until she was no longer able to do so. Her life was characterized by hard work, sacrifice, understanding, commitment, love, forgiveness, perseverance, a sense of humor, and an overall attitude that “life is good“ even when facing hardships. She will be deeply missed.
