Marie was raised on a small farm in Nova Scotia. At the age of 16 she left home, becoming a Nanny in Boston, Massachusetts where she met her future husband, Norman MacIntyre. Following the mining boom of the 1970’s they lived in various communities across Canada until settling in Sparwood, BC in 1979. It is here she enjoyed gardening, spending time with her children, tending to close friendships and crafting with her grandchildren until her sudden passing on July 18th. Marie will be forever loved and remembered by family and cherished friends.
