Early in her life she moved with her parents to Oneonta, NY where she grew up. She attended Oneonta HS and then obtained a bachelor's degree in nursing at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. After graduation, she worked for a time at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, NY. While living in Cooperstown, she met her future husband, Loyly 'Buzz' Burnet. Marie and Buzz married in 1958 and started their family of 4 in 1959. They moved to Delanson, NY in 1961. Marie pursued her nursing career working at Cobleskill and St Clair's Hospitals. While her children were young, she and Buzz decided she would move to a career as a school nurse so her calendar would match that of her children. She gained an MA in education from Russell Sage and worked for the remainder of her career at Duanesburg Central High School as a School Nurse Teacher. Marie retired in 1991 and sadly Buzz passed away in 1992. After his passing, she maintained many volunteer positions and frequently traveled with friends. In 2015, she moved from the Schenectady area to Webster, NY to be closer to her son David who lives in Rochester.
