Marie was devoted to her Heavenly Father, church, and family that she loved dearly.

She was a faithful, lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and held many church jobs at the Hattiesburg ward and stake level. She was a music director for Hattiesburg First Ward. She also taught for the Young Women's Programs, Sunday School, and Primary Children.

She also had a calling as a Stake Genealogy Librarian and was responsible for the training of ward genealogy workers. She assisted members and non-members with genealogy work at the Stake Center.

And Ohhh how she loved those garage sales.
