After Marie raised her family and when most people are ready to retire, she opened one of the first Bed and Breakfast establishments in Twillingate. She surely enjoyed meeting people and especially enjoyed baking her famous breads and jams and sharing them and her love, laughter, and friendship with all her guests. Marie was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Twillingate Hospital Auxiliary, and the Twillingate Firettes. She is remembered by so many for her warm smile, big heart, and generosity. Marie was one of the larger than life characters, never to be forgotten. When cheering up was needed, spending time with Marie did the trick. Whether you were a family member, a life-long friend, or a new acquaintance, Marie brought love, joy , and reaffirmed faith in the blessings of family, friends and life's simple things. She was a very special lady who touched the lives of so many and always considered the needs of others before her own. She put family first and will be missed so much by us all.
