Marie had a heart of gold. I worked with her at her last position at the hospital. Marie had a very outgoing personally, and love to speak to people. Marie loved her family very much enjoyed going to Florida every year on vacation. Marie touched my heart, and always had a life long lesson to teach me. May God Bless her and her Family, and may she watch over her family and friends….
