I remember Marie for having a genuine interest in dialog and all things past and current. From personal/family news to world politics, she was always up for trading stories and opinions of such matters.
I remember a couple years back she asked me about MP3s and MP3 players.. Her curiosity on this topic (in her early 90s) floored me and I was delighted to explain. Then she demonstrated how to tie a more efficient shoelace knot.
