There was lots of music, dancing, fun, and laughter. As well, she loved reading, watching hockey games, game shows on television, and playing cards with her friends. She had a great sense of humor and was “as sharp as a tack.” Her motto in life that she often repeated was: “main thing is not to worry.” Marie lived a good, healthy life until sickness struck her four years ago.
