Marie was a woman whose greatest joy in life was her family. She was happiest when surrounded by those she loved, especially her cherished grandchildren, who brought endless pride and light to her life.

She loved helping her customers and was committed to supporting her community, always taking the time to make people feel valued and cared for. Through her dedication, kindness, and genuine joy in serving others, she brought happiness to so many.
