All my sympathy to Marie's family. When I first come to work with Roller-Crouch Funeral Home in Batesville, Marie is the one who taught me how to do the reports and all that went along with them. I still use the methods she taught me today. She was such a nice, patient person with me and I will always remember her.

Ms. Marie was a special lady to me. My late husband was her Worthy Patron when she was Worthy Matron at Beebe. Her late husband, Charles Stocks, broke the news to my mother when my husband passed away. Ms. Marie always had a smile and greeted me with affection. She will be missed in our church family and Star family.

Marie and I worked together at Peoples Drug Store (Doss) in the late 1950's. She had that winning smile and sweet spirit even back then. We passed each other on the railroad tracks nearly every Sunday on our way to church, always smiling and waveing. I will miss her, but know we will see each other again
