Hello, Our names are Duane and Teresa Stover and we met Marie through my sister Brenda and Art, Marie's son. We had the pleasure of hanging out with Marie at several cookouts and birthday parties, Marie was someone who you felt instantly able to open up and be yourself around. Marie made everyone laugh and EVERYONE loved her. Marie was very caring and she loved her family very much. Duane and I are blessed to have had the good times we had with Marie. I will always remember the gardening tips and laughs and conversations that we shared at my sisters house (Brenda) and my brothers (Ronnie) house. Marie was always bright and cheery and always brought a sunshine personality to every occasion. Marie was truly a special lady and mom and, I know the good Lord above had a special place set aside especially for Marie. Marie will always be remembered and We will hold our dear memories of her close to our heart. She was truly LOVED by many people. Marie was blessed with a beautiful heart and soul and she cared about everyone. Theres no doubt shes watching over us as our Guardian Angel Marie..............

Marie was a very special lady. She loved her sons dearly as her sons did her. I have never met anyone quite like her. Everyone who met her loved her. She loved a party. She was a real people person. It didn't matter what age you were she could relate to you and hang with you! She will be greatly missed by many people but never forgotten. She was one of a kind. No doubt heaven gave her a drum roll upon arrival.
