I met Marie in 1979 at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Marie was bedazzling. She was very smart, beautiful and friendly. Her extroverted personality and attention to detail helped her to be an excellent student. Marie became a great friend. We shared several classes and had a wonderful time together. We did many projects. These included making movies and the Arkansas 1980 gubernatorial election coverage in Little Rock among others. Marie wanted to help make the world a better place. I feel honored to have been in her life if only for a short while. To the world she was one person, but to me she was my world then. It was a long time ago, but only if you measure time in years. In many ways, Elton John could have written "Candle In The Wind" for Marie. My sister Meg also sends her condolences. Marie you were loved.
I remember Marie from our school days. She was very outgoing, friendly and loved by us all in her class. Very beautiful inside and out. My prayers are with all of the family.
Marie always had interesting stories about herself and people she helped. She had a BIG heart, trying to help others. Marie was very proud of her sons, you could tell when she gave me updates of the joy her sons gave her. My prayers go out to her family and friends in their loss.
I remember Marie as a beautiful and fun-loving classmate and friend. May she rest in peace and sending my prayers to her family.
Prayers of comfort for the family at this difficult time. Marie was such a good neighbor, she was so kind and thoughtful.
Marie was such a kind and giving person. May she rest in peace and my prayers of comfort to the family.
Marie was such a good, gentle soul possessed of a servant's heart. She was always willing to help another. She volunteered at the Kite Festival and always had such a good time. She was at the Tree Lighting and I have never seen her happier. I felt the dark times of her life were finally behind her and she had found peace in her life.
I will never forget Marie's singing. She used to sing the Star Bangled Banner at the high school football games. The note that is so hard to hit - she hit an octave above. I will keep her family in my prayers.
I will never forget Marie coming from Little Rock to stay with us for a few days. I was in Junior High and she was so cool and fun to us then. I haven't seen her in years, My prayers go out to Kole and Josh. She loved her boys...
Josh,
I knew your mother in H.S. She was a beautiful outgoing girl. When she entered the room, everyone noticed because she was so breathtaking. I am sorry for your lose. May God be with you and help you through this time.
