Marie was a devoted wife and mother and is remembered for being an expert seamstress. She won many awards at the Fort Bend County Fair for her beautiful hand-sewn clothing items, usually made for her daughter, Elaine. Her sons will tell you she was a great cook and always made sure her kitchen was stocked with homemade baked items. She was a dedicated member of First United Methodist Church, Rosenberg for over 55 years and Needville Methodist Church prior to that.
