Marie was a life-long member of Snow Hill Free Will Baptist Church, where she taught nursery and primary Sunday school classes at various times. She loved the church with all her heart and soul, and considered the members to be her second family…..whom she loved almost as much as her own. She always loved working in her beautiful yard, using her home-grown flowers to produce spectacular arrangements for the Church she loved every Sunday for many years. She was so proud of those arrangements and considered them her gift to God and her Church family. Her faith was an important and vital part of her life. She was a good and honest woman who will be truly missed by all she touched……a sign of a life well lived…..and a woman who was genuinely loved and cherished by all.
Visitation with family and friends will be Monday evening, September 12, from 6-7 PM at Tyndall Funeral Home with a service to celebrate Marie’s life to follow at 7 p.m. in the Tyndall Chapel.
