My condolences to the whole family. I remember Marie for my entire life (80 yrs) and grew up nearby in my earliest years. She was my aunt Leonora's sister-in-law. I have nothing but good memories.

My Aunt Marie and Godmother was a very loving, and caring person. I have many fond memories of the wonderful things she did for me while I was growing up, especially all the beautiful handmade clothes she made for my Barbie doll. She certainly was a skillful seamstress. The doll clothes she made for my Barbie doll were way better than anything you could buy in a store. I was the envy of all my girlfriends! I don't play with Barbie dolls anymore, but I still have her and her beautiful wardrobe.

Thank you again, Aunt Marie for loving me and giving me wonderful memories.

Rest in Peace!
With much love,
Cathy & Tom xo
