They lived in Oklahoma and Texas and vacationed and traveled throughout the United States and Mexico for almost 20 years. Mari had different jobs in sales, substitute teaching, real estate and helping friends, but her greatest job was being a homemaker and head cheerleader for Dylan and Noah. Mari enjoyed watching Dylan play soccer and his BMX bike tricks. She enjoyed watching Noah with track and wrestling. Mari's new love came with grandson Liam who called her Neena and can't understand why she can't come home. Mari loved the ocean, and would try to always find a vacation where she could be near an ocean. She was not materialistic and would give you the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it.

In Mari's own words, "Love while the opportunity exists, I should have stayed longer, I thought I had more time, I will love you forever and ever." From her Sapulpa Class of 1991: It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry or fine clothes that should make you beautiful, No, your beauty should come from inside you--the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. That beauty will never disappear and it is worth very much to God - 1 Peter 3:3-4. If you would like to honor Mari's life, remember her sons and keep in touch with them through the years and tell them and others the stories of Mari's life so they can share with all the future generations. They will be comforted during times when they won't have her guiding hand to help them. Smile, you never know how bad someone may need it. She always had a smile and that beautiful red hair, no matter how she felt. Her work on earth is done and may she rest in peace.
