Aunt Marie was like a mom to me. We were always on the go to take care of someone who was sick or needed help in some way. You made everything fun! Laundry, raking leaves, homework, dishes...truly everything. You, just like Uncle Guy, were one in a million.
You loved your clowns! I remember asking why and you said "because they make people smile". I also remember planting clown faced pansies for you with Uncle Guy. Your love was magical! It was such a joy to grow up with you, you taught me how to love and be a mom. I hope you are dancing in heaven with Uncle Guy

When God decided to take you away, he took someone very precious to us. You were always so full of love and kindness. You never thought twice about putting everybody before yourself. It was just your nature to be everybody's caretaker. But now it's time to let God take care of you. You will be sadly missed and always loved, Bill, Jackie and Tucker
