Marie was born and raised in Chicago IL , the last surviving child of the late Theodore and Dorothy Strunck.

Marie’s devotion to her Catholic faith guided her life as a wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, teacher, and friend. She was an engaged and supportive listener, concerned about others well being, always with a positive outlook and energy. Her smile brightened the lives of those around her.

Her greatest joys were her beloved children and grandchildren: Patrick Burns (Tomoko), Catherine Bond (David), Maribeth Washburne (John), Margaret Peak (Keith), and Susan Olden (Mike). She was a loving grandmother to Teddy, KoKo, Eric, Steve, Brian, Dan, Amy, William, Michelle, Meghan, and 13 great grandchildren.
