Carl and Marie had a lifelong love and marriage that lasted 67 years. They were committed to each other and their family.  Even after Carl’s passing, Marie’s heart still belonged to him.

Marie enjoyed sharing stories from her childhood in Kentucky; how she met her beloved husband, Carl; their time running the family grocery store and television business; and the pride they had for their family.

The children now share a few memories – Mom’s daily reading of the Bible and providing her family with a firm foundation of faith; demonstrating community service by assisting with the preparation of food for church events; fun times around the table playing card games; her giving heart for those going through difficult times; providing an in-home library and promoting the spirit of life-long learning; how she sheltered children from inappropriate scenes on television; and the way she would lose herself in laughter when entertaining friends in their home.  Mom enjoyed watching westerns, especially with her grandchildren; her favorite western stars were Randolph Scott and Audie Murphy.  She had such a love of country and an appreciation of the military for protecting our freedoms.
