  1. Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Marie’s passing. I have talked to her and known about her suffering and search for knowledge about the cause of her symptoms. Now she is in a better place and not suffering. But, I know all who knew and loved her are suffering her loss. Take comfort in your family. Share the GOOD memories.

    She has been a good friend of ours for so many years. Since the 1970s I guess. Such a loving and true friend. We played lots of cards together and shared many fun events. She loved to dance and always said “yes” to Bill when he needed another twirl around the dance floor. She was also pretty good at the duck dance. She was always lots of fun. But, we shared our tribulations too. We will miss her.

    Bill and I are in Florida until May ? We would love to attend a Memorial service at a later date?. I don’t know about your plans. This virus makes it so much harder for all of you. So so sorry to Dan, her kids, grandkids, and siblings.

  3. Dan, Julie, Renee, Tim and Cathy,
    So sorry for your loss. I have great memories at the pool, your house and our house when you were all little. She was a wonderful sister-in-law and a great organizer of different parties, especially the Weindel Christmas Parties. You are all in my prayers. Love, Aunt Sue

  5. I was so shocked to see Marie’s remembrance in the St. Justin Bulletin. We hadn’t seen each other in years, but we both always had a special fondness for each other. I am so sorry for all of you, especially Dan. She was a delightful, bright, warm and caring woman. I have so many wonderful memories, as I am sure you all do, and I will always cherish her friendship.

  11. I plan to be in vigil with Marie and family tomorrow at 12:30 as she is laid to rest and invite others to do the same. We can be there in spirit if not in person.

  13. I am so sorry to hear of Marie’s death. We had great fun together in high school and I considered her my friend. We lost touch and then reconnected. She was a great person and the world will miss her. May she rest in peace.

  15. A wonderful woman of faith, loved her family deeply, consoled and brought comfort to those in need and to top it all off, loved gummy bears, took a honeymoon cruise to Alaska what happens on the ship doesn’t stay on the ship when you travel with the Weindel clan. Played cards for endless hours, organized family gatherings, confiscated cell phones to enable communication. Loved life and I think lived her best life with all who knew Marie. Love and miss you, God Bless.
