She was born in Manhattan, grew up in Richmond and briefly lived in Japan during her youth before returning to Staten Island.

She owned and managed Belaire Motors BMW in Richmond from 1986 until it closed in the early 1990s.
Walter was the love of her life. Her family will always remember her love of life and her advice and guidance. Marie's favorite expression was you need to buck up. They will both be forever missed.
She enjoyed visiting Atlantic City, traveling and watching movies.
Marie is survived by her daughter, Jeanne Marie Mikkelsen; a brother, Henry Hart; two sisters, Helena Jacobsen and Jeannette Anderson, and 3 grandchildren.
