She enjoyed cooking for her family and attending church with her friends. She especially loved spending time with her dog, Lulu. Marie was the heart of her family. She was known for her charismatic and witty personality that left you with a smile on your face and also gained her the title of the “Biggest Brat” which she will forever hold.
