Marie left high school in 9th grade to begin working at Northern Telecom. She eventually moved on to work for A & P Supermarkets where she met her husband of 49 years, Arthur. They were married in 1955, and began building a wonderful life together. Marie and Arthur moved from Toronto to Winnipeg, and then back to Toronto, before immigrating to the United States in 1979. They eventually settled in the Detroit area beginning in 1981. She was a homemaker for 25 years raising “her boys.” After they were grown, she pursued and received her High School Diploma in 1987. Marie went on to become a teaching assistant at Plymouth Starkweather, where she helped in the Adult Education Program. She was always an intellectually curious woman who loved her crosswords and pursued a lifetime of learning. Marie also enjoyed sewing, knitting, gardening and playing cards. She also loved to travel to new places going to France, England, and Hawaii. More than anything, Marie cherished the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren.
