My deepest condolences to the Conover family for the unexpected loss of your Mother. I have many great memories of all the times we spent with your family.
Aunt Marie was selfless and really cared about everyone, remembering every birthday, holiday and illness with a card. She was a lifelong friend to my Mom and a faithful companion and visitor since my Mom has been ill. We will all miss her visits.
An incredible woman, we are all better people having known her. Aunt Marie touched all she knew and will be missed alot.

To my dear friends,
The world was a better place because of your Mother and Grandmother. Marie was truly a gift from God where everyone she came in contact with loved her. Gary, her proud son shared many stories with me of the kindness and thoughtfulness Marie bestowed upon everyone she met. Heaven has called her home to be with her other loved ones.
God bless Marie.

Dear family,
My deepest condolences.. I will always remember and appreciate the unbelievable kindness if Aunt Marie, and yes I called her Aunt Marie because she was more than a friend to my grandmother and family.. She was my grams best friend and more like a sister. They spoke every day and always looked after each other and each others family.. I'm sure anyone could write a book on Aunt Marie's life and greatness.. She gave so much of herself to everyone. I will never forget her get well cards to my children and myself. I will never forget the Easter pie that we ate every year.. She went over and beyond to help people she knew and didn't know.. Her faith was strong and god just received the greatest gift in the world. Aunt Marie is truly an ANGEL...
