I had a working relationship with Marie at St. Mary's Hospital. She was a joy to work with - so professional, and yet fun - a fierce advocate for her coworkers. She loved to share stories about her dog, who I think was very well loved. Sweet soul.

I had the pleasure of knowing Marie while working at St. Mary's. She was always willing to lend a hand, offer advice, and in general helpful with whatever was needed. Although she came across as "grumpy," everyone knew that Marie cared for everyone! She was a sweet lady! To her family: I am sorry for your loss.

I just don't know where to begin because I've know this lovely lady more than half my life. She has carried many different roles in our lives. Co-worker, sister, mother, jokester, doctor to just name a few. But most important she was a friend. She was a friend who would just listen at any time. A banker when you couldn't make it to the end of the pay period. An animal lover. Her pets were treated with royalty. How many people would let there dog come to supper and have a plate of food waiting for them. She loved to joke and kid around. We got her back a couple of times really good. We would love to go out to eat and you meeting Mark Tauchser I think was one of the better nights we had.
We would never forget the creatures you brought out like Egor and the rubberband women. Now you are able to meet your idol Elvis Presley. Time will get easier but you will not be forgotten. For now you follow your path to happiness being with your family and friends. We will see you again.
Al ,Jim and Jill you are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. Remember she always said she was going to be at the right hand of the Lord. She is well taken care of.
