Marie Luke Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 19 to Dec. 20, 2023.
Marie (Benedict) Luke, 83, of Seminole, FL formerly from Adena died on December 12, 2023, peacefully at her residence. She was born August 20, 1940, to Louis and Elvira Benedict. She was preceded in death by her sister Alice Newell.

She is survived by her brother Louis (Judy) Benedict of Pen Argyl, PA; children, Mike (Terry) Luke of Pickerington, OH, Wendell (Marla) Luke of Aurora, IN; 3 grandchildren Justin (Brooke) Luke, Brittnee (Brian) Kight, Matthew (Pattee) Luke; and 7 great-grandchildren Lucy, Beckham, McKenna, Luke, Ava Jackson and Cameron. Also surviving are numerous nieces and nephews.

She graduated from Adena High School, a retired beautician and later a security guard when she lived in Florida. She found joy in bowling, traveling, being at the beach, rooting for the Ohio State football team as well as the Tampa Bays Buccaneers. She was a confidant to her children and enjoyed attending her children's activities and sporting events. She also enjoyed watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up.

She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church both in Adena and Largo. Whenever she had the opportunity to socialize and interact with others, it made her the happiest.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her honor to the Save the Manatee Club or a charity of the donor's choice.

A family service will be held in the future.

We are in a state of shock and grief learning that our sweet friend Marie has left us and gone home to the Lord. We have been trying to reach the residence where we last knew she resided ,but now we know she resides in her heavenly home. God bless her soul and may she rest in the arms of Jesus .
