Bobbie Rushing and I had a decorating business in the 80s, in England, Arkansas. Marie made all our drapes, and bedspreads. She was the most talented seamstress I have ever known. She was small but could handle big bunches of heavy fabric. She was sweet, kind, good, and a wonderful Christian. I read her obituary just a few minutes ago and I am saddened. I was just thinking about her this morning. I am so sorry.

So sorry to hear about Marie. She was such a lovely talented lady. Made many of drapes for my mother in law Melba McPherson and also did my drapes and bedding. A talent that will be lost but not forgotten .
