She truly enjoyed working at the dress factory and there she began many friendships that have lasted a lifetime. After both of her children were grown, Marie went to work cooking on the towboat that T-Bone captained. Upon their retirement, T-Bone and Marie moved to Mountain View. She spent her golden years quilting, sewing, going to auctions, and listening to music on the square. T-Bone and Marie enjoyed many wonderful years together until his passing in November of 2011. After T-Bone’s death, Marie began working as a “Pink Lady” volunteer at the hospital. She spent as much time volunteering as possible and thoroughly enjoyed every second.
