Following her retirement, Marie and Romeo traveled the world, often being away from home up to 200 nights per year. Their travels included cruises around South America, across the Atlantic from Europe, and within the Mediterranean Sea. A few highlights of their trips included an opportunity to see the Pope and a visit to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Marie was known for her smile and her sparkling eyes. She brought out the good in people she met along the way, often finding a way to reach patients who were the most in need. While we will miss her, we are thankful she is at peace and her body is at rest.
