my sincere condolences to Tom and the family. My husband Bob and I have been neighbours for 35 years kitty corner on Wilson Street. She always had a wave and a smile. I always thoght it waa funny because when she retired from Huron County I got her job. In the good ole days you didn’t get in until someone retired. We chatted a few times about the shenanigans that went on there. One of Marie’s oldest co-worker told me how at the end of her career she was so fed up with the CAO and County crap, she would sit at her desk and read the newspaper 📰. No one dared stop her. That always made me laugh and happy that she didn’t take their crap. She was a fiesty lady. God love her. Rest in Peace Marie.

Tom and Marie’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I worked with Marie in the county office. As at that time we both where single. We would go on mini trips on a Saturday. The place I remember was Michael Art Gallery in Toronto. RIP Marie
