I'm at Marie when she walked into hobby lobby she had this great smile. She loved sports and the razorbacks we talked about playing basketball we didn't get to but if there's a court in heaven I know she's playing. God bless the family.

So sorry for your loss, Marie was a wonderful Christian lady, we remember her since of humor and beautiful smile. I know your hearts are sad, and we will pray for your strength through this difficult time. God Bless your family.
Robbie, Marcia, Kim & families;
Marie will be missed by us and many others. Her infectious smile always brightened our day when we visited. She always took time to speak with us and gave us her full attention, unless a sports game was on television.
Seriously, Marie seemed to thoroughly enjoy all sports; knowing the teams, players and their records for a variety of competitive levels from high school to pros.
You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers during time of loss.

I’m so sorry for y’all’s loss. Your mom was such a sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all.
I am so sorry for your loss. She raise an amazing family who she loved deeply. She might have been strict, ( liked most parents ) but she raised you with honorable values and a deep believe in the Lord. I believe she lived a full life realizing her family are happy and safe. She left to be with the Lord knowing he is always watching over you all and guiding you. Part of her will always be with you. Again, my condolences for you. ( My love and hugs to Marcia and family ).
I am so sorry for your loss, Robbie. Praying for you and family.

So very sorry for your loss. It is a blessing to know that Marie is dancing at the feet of Jesus this very minute though. Hugs.
My Aunt Marie will always remain as a very special part of my childhood memories and fun family get togethers as adults!! She was an avid sports fan and could carry on the best of conversations about her favorite teams. She loved us and treated us just like her own kids. I only wish I had been able to forgive her for stopping her care of the sour dough yeast starter that she kept ‘fed’ for years and years and loosing the recipe for her world famous / family favorite ooey-gooey drenched in white icing sour dough cinnamon roles!!!! lol They were for sure one of the best things about being a kid in her home!!!!! Kids and adults alike - from family, church or neighborhood were always up for a warm crescent moon shaped pan of heaven! There will never be a cinnamon roll to compare with hers and I am ruined for life to eat them out of a can!!! Rest In Peace! Enjoy meeting Jesus and seeing all of our precious loved ones who have already made heaven their home!! You will be missed but we will see you again!!
Robbie, our hearts go out to you and your family at this difficult time. Rest assure that your momma is with Jesus and will start her eternal life. We love you!
