Marie graduated from Lincoln Community High School
in 1936. She lived in Atlanta for over 60 years and
worked as a waitress at the "Dixie Truck Stop" in
McLean. In 1964 she started working at the Lincoln
Development Center. She truly loved working with the
"kids" there and was employed there until she
retired in the early 1980's. During her retirement
she continued with her love of the outdoors and
fishing, going to Goofy Ridge with Michael, to fish.
Her last years were spent living at Apostolic
Christian Restmor in Morton. She had three good
years at Restmor thanks to the wonderful staff that
work there. She truly enjoyed spending time in the
activity room making crafts, helping with cooking,
socializing, folding towels and trying to help the
other residents. Marie made many friends, both
residents and staff, while at Restmor and her family
is very thankful for the part that they played in
her life along with the wonderful support they
provided the family.
In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate
donations to Morton Rescue Squad or Apostolic
Christian Restmor.
