Tributes

Like Marie I am a long time survivor and in the past participated with her in Relay for Life. Her smiling face always welcomed me at regular monthly lunches for the Women's Cancer group. We caught up with each others family news and travels. As many will, I will miss her friendly presence. She will be dancing with the angels.

We have very fond memories of time spent with Marie and family. She was always kind, caring and a lot of fun. Thinking of everyone that will miss her, all our love.

Marie was my school secretary when I was Principal at St John Bosco school. She became a close friend. Marie was efficient and a huge help to me for the seven years I was there. My sympathy to you all at this sad time

Liz Shaw

Marie was a beautiful sister-in-law to me and my family, she was always so welcoming and made everyone feel so welcomed. I will miss her and but have comfort knowing she is in the hands of Jesus. RIP in love Marie.
