Marie was born July 28, 1917, in Lafayette, the daughter of the late Otis C. Anderson and Lillian M. Zink Anderson. She lived her entire life in Lafayette.

Harold and Marie joined the Grace United Methodist Church in the mid-1950s.

Marie will always be remembered for the love for her family and the oodles and oodles of noodles she made throughout the years for the Anderson family reunions. The reunions will never be the same without her and her great contribution.
