Marie was a devout Catholic, a founding member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, and spent her last years praying daily TV Mass, the Rosary and as a Prayer Warrior for family and friends. Many of her Grandchildren are very devoted to this Special Grandmother, having spent after school and summers with her. She instilled in her family to put God first in their lives and her legacy continues on in the family she leaves behind. She was here over 100 years but that still was not long enough. She will be so greatly missed, but forever in our hearts.
