Condolences to all the Family.
She was such a sweet lady!! You are all in my prayers at this sad time. So sorry.
Lori and I both have found memories of Marie! The first time we ever met her was up too Mountain View Bible Church in New Vineyard. Right then we knew that there was something special in her spirit and in her soul! She was a very special person! In her heart she is a true child of God! Once in a while over the years we would give her a call, she loved talking about feeding the birds and about the deer coming in front of her windows! She loved speaking about her kids! She was proud of them! Marie, may you now be in the loving arms of the Lord! Looking forward to some day speaking to you again! In Christian love Lori and Mike Marchetti

So sad to hear this news but at the same time I am glad that she is reunited with her beloved Lester I am so very grateful that my family and hers crossed paths and got to walk together for a while. Many fond and happy memories with lots of laughter along the way. God was so good to us to allow that time. My prayers are with the family as you learn to walk this earth without her loving presence. No worries though. She’ll be peeking over heaven’s bannister keeping an eye on you. Much love, Marnie Voter Childress
