She loved her family dearly and was proud to make a home for them. She spent her working years as a Certified Nursing Assistant at St. Joseph’s Hospital and South Port Square Nursing Home in Port Charlotte, Florida. There she was awarded several times for her excellent care. Marie loved to travel and took many trips to Ohio and Indiana. One of her favorite stops was the Maid- Rite Burger joint in Ohio. She also enjoyed the State Fairs in those states. She and Don enjoyed camping and traveling all over North America and Mexico. She was the mother of Deborah Dunn (Dennis), of Camp Hill and Barbara Lowe (Sim), of Port Charlotte, FL; the proud Grandma of Kim Kirkpatrick (Jeff), Sandy Wilbanks (Terry), Shelly Bowins (Billy), Dennis Dunn, II (Mickie), and Shannon Arthur (Floyd); and the Great Grandma to 11 Great-Grandchildren and 3 Great-Great Grandchildren.
