Marie is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Friend of Bill W.

Marie grew up in Hull Village among many close friends. She cherished spending time with her family, especially on the front porch of her family home. She enjoyed getting her hair and nails done, traveling, spending time at the beach, as well as singing, dancing, and bringing true joy to everyone she met. She really enjoyed moments of partying and celebrating the holidays with her family, especially celebrating Memorial Day in Hull.

Marie was a long-time employee of Delta Airlines and the Marriott Corp. While Marie was employed at Delta, she made many friends, including Mel Simmons, who eventually passed from breast cancer. To honor her and their friendship, Marie created the “Mel’s Bracelet Fundraiser,” which has raised millions of dollars to date. Marie was so proud to have been a part of AA and celebrated over 25 years of sobriety taking one day at a time.

But what she loved the most was being a mother to her son, “JoJo.” From the moment he was born, Marie took her role as a mom as the most important gift in her life, Spending time with her baby boy was her preference over anything else in the world. Even after suffering a brain bleed and stroke 12 years ago, Marie still radiated light into the world through her faith, personality, laugh, and smile. She had a tremendous impact on every person she encountered and was grateful for every second of every day. Heaven has gained a very special angel and a lot more song and dance. We are so grateful for the gift of her life and want to continue her memory through acts of kindness, being grateful, sharing laughs, and helping those who need it most.
