Marie graduated from Plainview High School where she was the Editor of the high school newspaper. She worked for the Plainview News and Spring Valley Tribune.

Marie was an avid reader, Naturalist and a life long lover of dogs. She was a founding member of the Rochester Dog Obedience Club. She taught Puppy Pre-School in the Community Education Program. She and her dogs were featured in many Ed Fisher’s Post Bulletin cartoons as well as articles featuring her and her dog training skills. Most of her adult life she was surrounded by Corgis.

International Professional dog trainers and authors, Carol Lea Benjamin and Job Michael Evans, considered her a friend and mentor, mentioning her in their books. In 1957 she and longtime friend June Goodrich homesteaded land for a hobby farm east of Rochester.
