Sad to hear the news – she will really be missed! She was a wealth of Family History information. I wished I’d asked more questions – I have “holes” in our family history – that she could have probably filled with her knowledge. Your family will be in our prayers.
Marie was amazing!! The last daughter of my Great Aunt Maude Potter, mind sharp and up with current events the last I knew. I have thought of her a lot lately, and kept meaning to write, but only got a brief Christmas card sent…. we have lost a great lady. God bless her family; how lucky they were to have her for so many years.

What a wonderful lady this one was. Amazing in so many ways and quick to the last. She was not afraid to jump in a car near 80 and headout to unknown lands to find family, which she did nearlt 20 years ago in Montana. I’ll miss her and I’m sure her family and friends will as well. Blessings to the family.
