Marie or “Nanny” as she was lovingly called by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all their friends loved spending time with her family. She always enjoyed when her family members stopped by her house to have a Coke and “brighten her day.” Marie always had a spot at her table for anyone to enjoy some of her tomato soup, fried chicken, or homemade biscuits. She sewed professionally for multiple interior designers in town and made beautiful custom window treatments. She was a faithful member of Greggton Missionary Baptist Church.
