Marie\u2019s life was full of her love for the Lord, family and friends and her church. She attended different churches in her youth and Mount Zion United Methodist Church northeast of Grover Hill when her children were young. She began receiving The Plain Truth magazine in 1958 and began attending the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in 1973. Later she attended the United Church of God, a daughter church of the WCG, and was active until her death.
