Marie graduated from Bee Log Senior High School and married Alvin Moore in 1951. Marie was known for her joyful sense of humor as well as her kind, caring and giving nature. Marie loved so much to spend time with her grandchildren and great grand child. She spent many years at the KOA campground in Cherokee and with the love of her life John Cordell, they made many friends and connections from those years.

She retired from Three Mountaineers Inc. in 1992 and regularly participated in the United Way and the American Red Cross Blood Drives.
