I remember Marie from her numerous trips to Norfolk Island with Jim. She was always a delight, vivacious and friendly. I lived on Norfolk at the time and we always managed to catch up during their visits. Sending you my sincere condolences.

Hi to the Marshall Clan, So sad to hear of her passing and you all have our deepest sympathies.
Marie was always such a bright spark and really could pull a laugh out of nowhere all the time, a good straight shooter in conversation and we all remember her very fondly.
Now she will be rounding Jimmy up and be the life of the party up there.
So sorry we couldn't make it down today.
They have to move over up there to make way for another beautiful star in the sky.
Fly free.
Max, Sandra, Myloh & Niela O'Donnell, Alexandra.
Rest easy Marie. We've such fond memories of the times we spent with Jimmy and Marie. Marie would crack us up with laughter. I'd try to give as good as I'd get, but you'd never beat Marie on that. And it's so true Marie's would always find a gift to give. With such a big family she still managed the time and awareness to be sending gifts to Ireland. Marie, i won't be able to tease you now. I won't have any way of knowing now how big your handbag is and how many multiple layers of items covering all eventualities possible. You can up size now! Fly free you deserve it x . Our sympathy and thoughts to all the family.

My apologies to Marie's family for not attending Marie's farewell day as I was unaware of her passing until just recent. My intention after Jim passed was to have some catch up time with her as she was my favorite cousin. Many fond memories of years gone by.
Please accept my condolences and thoughts are with you all.
