Marie was born in Elm Creek, Manitoba where she also married and raised her family of six. A resourceful homemaker, she annually canned the bounty from Paul's abundant garden. Her creative flair was apparent in her home and the clothes she sewed for the girls. Marie loved to bake and was fondly teased for her appetite for homemade pie. Marie loved music and dancing and could whistle hundreds of tunes. She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered. Thanks to the nursing staff at Lion's Prairie Manor who provided loving care and laughter in the last few years she resided there. Mom always had an extra hug or word of encouragement for her friends there and will be missed especially by her friend and companion, Bill. To celebrate Marie's life, family and friends are invited to a service to be held at 2:00 p.m. on the January 20, 2007 at the Mennonite Bretheren Church located in Elm Creek, with her final resting place at Elm Creek Cemetery.
