A daughter of the late Edward Morrison and the late Abigail Morrison, Marie was born on August 15, 1928, in Cambridge, MA. Marie lived in Massachusetts until she married her husband, John, who was in the Army. They enjoyed the military life for over 20 years and during that time, Marie loved traveling the world with her family. They later returned to Massachusetts and lived in Lexington for 30 years before moving to Billerica in 1998.

Family was Marie’s top priority. Marie loved helping her family in any way. She thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with all the updates on her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Marie always made each and every one of her family feel special and cherished.
Marie was happiest when she was helping others. After retirement, Marie volunteered for more than 20 years at the Bedford VA Hospital and Chapel, along with her husband, John, who served as the hospital’s Ordained Permanent Deacon.

The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Billerica Crossings for the amazing love, devotion, and exceptional care given to their mother. They would also like to thank the staff from Hospice Services of Massachusetts for their exceptional care and comfort they gave to Marie.
