She was educated in the Rome Schools and graduated from Rome Free Academy in1952. In 1974, she married Colonel Franklyn Haines and together, they shared the most wonderful years of their lives before the Lord called him home much too soon in 1985. She worked at Griffiss Air Force Base for over 40 years, retiring in 1994. She belonged to the Church of St. John the Baptist, the Rome Theresians, and the Nocturnal Adoration Society. She had great love and devotion to our Lord and our Lady. Marie lived life, every minute, she did it all. From garage sales to breakfast out in the middle of nowhere, she lived every minute of every day. A lesson we can all learn and take with from her, live life and do it now!
