Marie loved to travel with her family, read books, cook, and take care of her grandchildren, who she loved dearly. Her home was always filled with love and heart felt caring. Whether she was hosting her family for the holidays or simply caring for the grandkids on the weekend. No matter the time, you felt cared for through her food, through her hugs and back scratches, reading of books, creating the most fun filled backyard oasis or the esthetically pleasing interior of her home. Every action was an overflow of her heart. Her family is forever bound to her love through traditions and her innate executions of hospitality. No one would ever walk away from her home on an empty stomach. Her family loved her beyond words. They stayed by her side, loved on her, and held her hand every day until her last breath. She will be missed forever.
