Marie was a Respiratory Therapist for over 40 years, serving in Canton & Havana, Illinois areas, and in Louisiana throughout her career.


Beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt, godmother, cousin, and friend. Marie loved spending time with her family, even if they all had to be quiet when Jeopardy was on. She was an avid reader, world traveler, tea drinker, and the best Scrabble player. Our lives were infinitely better for having known her.


A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at Sedgwick Funeral Homes & Crematory in Canton, where visitation will be from 10:00 AM until the time of services. Father Timothy Nolan will officiate. Cremation rites will be accorded. Burial of ashes will follow the services at Shields Chapel Cemetery. Memorials can be made to the Shields Chapel Cemetery.
