She was a 1939 graduate of Alliance High School and was a member of Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall at Carrollton, O. for many years and cherished her wonderful extended family there.  Marie was fond of watching cooking shows and professional golf on television.  One of her simple pleasures was completing word search puzzles.  She spent many of her quiet hours reading her Bible and studying her lessons for her meetings.  She loved taking rides in the car so she could absorb the simple, but exquisite joy of looking at the clouds and the trees.
