Marie was one of the most dedicated members of the Drury class of 1956, and she exhibited that dedication until her health got in the way; she will be missed.

Marie volunteered as the CCD director at St. Anthony's parish for close to 10 years. She was a generous and upbeat person, and a tireless worker.
Peace to the family.

Marie was such a wonderful lady. We became friends back when she worked for George West at Harriman and West Airport. She was always so sweet and gracious toward me. I send my heart felt sympathies to the entire family. This is a tragic loss to everyone who knew her. God Bless her and may she rest in peace.

Melissa and family we are happy to be able to remember your Mom as a wonderfully happy, outgoing, and energetic woman most especially on the trip we all took together with McCann and Drury students to Italy. We hope those memories and a thousand others will remain with you and give you peace.
