Her father passed away in December 1957 and Marie and her mother continued to live on the farm until moving to Wilton in the fall of 1975. She cared for her mother until her death in September 1978. Marie then became employed as a cook for the Wilton Senior Center. She enjoyed baking for the members of the Senior Center and was always willing to try new recipes. Marie also assisted in the care of Anastacia Krush and became a very close friend of the Krush family. She moved to the Harley & Agnes Jennings farm in October 1999.
