After graduating from Binghamton Central High School, she was employed by IBM in Endicott, NY. She married Frank B.

Throughout her life, Marie was active in her faith and her church. While a member of St Cecilia’s Parish in Stamford, CT, she performed as a Sacristan from 1970 through 1987. She was one of the first Special Ministers appointed by Bishop William Curtis in 1984 and continued to serve for 28 years. She enjoyed her Irish heritage as a member of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians in Stamford. In her younger years, Marie was an avid tennis player and enjoyed spending time on the court with her friends.

Marie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She never missed a chance to attend a family gathering, enjoyed her family stopping by for a visit, and always managed to share her endearing joyful laugh with all. She was a constant, supportive presence within her family.
