Not sure what to say?

Marie came to my mind yesterday as I drove through campus which was very quiet since classes have not yet started up again. It made me think that I want to do better this year at keeping up with MSU Womens' Basketball. And that brought to mind how lucky I was to be one of the folks that Marie picked up and drove to Breslin to see the games. She made going to the game a family experience, a fun time, and I remember well those years of Marie picking me up. She was so thoughtful and made...

I knew Marie at the University of Nebraska. She was a kind Resident Hall Director and a friend. She was a gentle soul... may she rest in peace.

I'll always remember those rides to see the MSU Women's Basketball games at the Bres'. I know I speak for the other women you drove too when I say we will never meet anyone again as generous, thoughtful, and fun as you were. Thank you.

It's important to continue to remember the people that we have lost in our lives and honor the lessons we have learned from them. Marie was a special mentor to me when I worked at Michigan State. She was so wise and so truthful. I have such special memories of her. Beyond work, she was always there for me. When I rode my bicycle across the United State with 2 male travel partners and things went a little sideways, she was there when I called and came to visit me in Traverse city as we...

Oh, my... I have just learned of Marie's passing. Marie made the world a better place, and without her, we have lost someone we could emulate. Marie was always kind and thoughtful. I admired the way she would carefully consider her words before saying them... a characteristic to practice. Her caring emanated from her in her gentle manner. May her memory be a blessing...

I can't believe it's been a year since we lost our friend from this earth. Marie made an impact on my life that is still evident today. She was one of my mentors and offered so much guidance and support. As I pause to remember her and all that she brought to this life, I will reflect on how important it is to find peace and joy and challenge in each day and not worry as much about the future. I continue to hold Priscilla in my thoughts as she lost such a special life partner.

All of us who worked in RHPO enjoyed and respected Marie. She understood students, kept things in perspective, always seems to enjoy being able to help others (especially hall directors). Nothing but fond memories of Marie, Sad to hear of her passing,

I had the privilege of meeting Marie when I was at MSU She made a difference wherever she was or whatever she was involved in. Free of pain and struggles leaving many with cherished memories
