Marie's children were very fortunate to have a stay-at-home mom. She was not only there for her six children but was always the helping hand to elderly family members and neighbors. Her home was the gathering place for the children of the neighborhood and a place they visited even in adulthood.Her senior years were spent following after the interests of her grandchildren from football, soccer and baseball games to dance recitals, plays and concert. She introduced her family to the Adirondacks and as recently as this past July, vacationed there with her family. Her great-grandchildren were her current passion, and she was fortunate enough to have them all living close enough to spend loving time together. Funeral services will be 11:15 a.m. Monday from Nunn & McGrath Funeral Directors, 470 French Rd., Utica, and noon from the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated.
