She worked hard keeping the home running smoothly. Marie lived a good life. She worked hard to bring in some extra money by working as a school cafeteria manager at Roosevelt Junior High in Bellwood for 20+ years. She was a devoted Cubs fan and knew every player and every statistic about each player. She was fortunate to have seen the Cubs win a World Series in 2016. Her fondest memories were of camping with the entire family at Indian Trails Campground in Pardeeville Wisconsin. A celebration of Marie's life will be held at a later date.
