the outdoors, biking and golfing. Marie saw many jazz and big band concerts 
with Harold. She enjoyed the Fireside Christmas show for years either by 
Theater Bus or with her daughter-in-law. Marie volunteered for RSVP making 
hundreds of knit hats over the years. She passed the time with crosswords and 
reading romance novels. Marie loved a picnic with a good game of Scrabble. She 
also loved animals, especially the family dog, Skippy; and her cats, Snowball 
and Lotus, who are all waiting for her in heaven. She fed the birds 
religiously and the squirrels too. Marie enjoyed plants and flowers both 
indoors and out. Marie was a long term member and volunteer at Glenwood 
Moravian Church. She is survived by a daughter, Janet (Silvan) Frank, Union,
