Marie, for the most part, was a stay-at-home Mom, and made wherever her husbands military assignment took them into a loving home for family and friends. She kept her home spotlessly clean and was an excellent cook and baker. Her retirement home became the “Coffee Break” location for her local family for many years, as family stopped by at 10:00 a.m. for her brewed coffee and tasty treats and many extended family dinners of “Rapure” occurred there.

Following her wishes there will be no funeral services. Interment to take place in the People’s Cemtery, McEwen Road, Summerside.
