In the late 1980's Marie moved to Genesee, Idaho, and worked as an administrative assistant to the nursing officer at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow. Her life's work always revolved around the business office or human resources in the medical field. She loved going to the ocean and she enjoyed spending time at a home the family-owned in Ocean Shores. She loved her family and her pets.
