October 24, 2024 at 1:02 pmI had the pleasure of meeting Marie at the Sam Corey Senior Center. She attended the Wednesday lunch and was a regular at the Thursday afternoon euchre game. I was so impressed when I found out her age, she was 102 at the time. She was admired and treasured and will be remembered fondly.
Sincerely and with sympathy to her family,
