Marie Locke Obituary
Marie graduated from Mansfield State Teachers College and Penn State University. She served as a nutritionist for Hot Shoppes in Virginia, planning menus for the restaurant chain. She later became a kindergarten teacher at Fort Meade, eventually becoming the school's principal, and convincing the U.S. Army to paint the five barracks that housed it bright red. "The Little Red Schoolhouse" became the largest Army kindergarten in the world at the time.
Services are private. Her final resting place is Meadowridge Cemetery in Elkridge, Maryland alongside her late husband, Leonard J. Locke.
