Thinking of Marie today. What a wonderfully vibrant soul and bright light she was here. Her vibrant personality, big smile, infectious laugh, gerenousity, selflessness, strength, that playful (and sometimes mischievous) twinkle in her eye, and her fierce love for her family are what I will always remember and hold dear. Though she is dearly missed here, I love the thought of her and my Mom being together. Can't wait to be with them again one day.

I miss your laugh
I miss your glares
I miss your hugs
And I miss your smile.
I miss being able to talk to you
I miss being able to argue with you
I miss the I love you's
And I miss just being around you.
You truly were the best mom I could have ever asked for. I know it is coming up on 5 years now but Mom, I still can't let you go....I miss you so

Marie was a special person. Her courage and positive attitude is an inspiration to me. I will miss our Starbuck "chatter" times together. She will remain in my hert forever.

Marie was my Aunt. I can honestly say Marie was one of the most amazing, encouraging, inspirational people I know. She was always sending encouraging emails and when I was going through a difficult situation, she was always there to with words of encouragement and love. She once sent an email that was entitled "Keep Your Fork"...the jest of story was to keep your fork something better is yet to come. Through Marie's battle with cancer, she always had that "Keep Your Fork" attitude....the best was yet to come. Forever in my heart. Kimberlei (Costanza) Birdsong (Yelm, WA)

Marie was my Aunt and one of, if not THE, most amazing people I have ever known! Even through her battle with ovarian cancer, she remained the most positive, encouraging, strong, and genuinely happy person I have ever known. My life was made richer just by having her in it. I count her as one of my greatest blessings..what a treasure! She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
So sorry that I won't be able to get down there for the celebration of Marie's life...there truly is MUCH to celebrate!! My thoughts and prayers are with you Steve, Katrina, Elizabeth and the rest of her family.
I am truly heartfelt sorry for your loss.
Much love,
Jode Pulley

Marie and I started working at Raytheon Semiconductor on the same day in June of 1984. I thought the world of her. She was very kind, a hard worker and everyone there liked her immensely. I hadn't see her since I left Raytheon in 1990. I wish I would have kept in touch. Condolences to the family and all her friends.
