Marie was a life-long resident of Lincoln where she graduated as Salutatorian in 1941. She was a homemaker and loved serving her community. For many decades she took pride in her garden and yard and could always be found outside mowing, weeding, or planting. She also spent many years volunteering at the Lincoln library, frying pies for the VFW at the Apple Festival, making quilts for shut-ins and others, playing in the Senior Center Kitchen Band, serving on the VFW Auxiliary Board, leading the Gem community club, and for 41 years she wrote a column for the local paper. Marie was instrumental in the start-up of the Lincoln Senior Center. She won the Citizen of Lincoln award in 1992. She also was an avid quilt maker, and she loved making quilts for each of her family members. She was a member of Sugar Hill Church where she attended weekly until June when her health declined. Marie loved her community, her church and her family “so much”. She leaves behind a great legacy of Faith, Love, and hard work, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Sugar Hill Church, Beaty Cemetery, or Circle of Life in Springdale.
