Marie was a friendly lady and amazing servant to local causes including the Girl Scout. I have have known her for most of my life. Her late husband Scottie helped me with my Eagle Scout project where we surveyed the Kettle Hole Park in Ledyard and made a map of it.

I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I was a Girl Scout growing up, and many many of my favorite memories are tied to Ladybug. She was a wonderful person. When you spoke with her, she made you feel like you were the most important person there. I know there's a special place in heaven for her.

Marie & Scottie were such wonderful people. I was the Girl Scout Service Unit Manager and Marie was the treasurer. She was such a good steward of money that I remember sitting at the table at their home while she tried to find a few penny mistake. We used to tease her that she would even count the marshmallows in the bag!! I have many memories of “Ladybug” at Camp Pattagansett, and of Scottie making birdhouses for the camp. But perhaps my fondest memory was when my real estate office was next to their house, and every night they would walk around the block holding hands. I’m sad for her loss, but glad they are together again. My sincere condolences to her family. ❤
