    Marie was a kind, patient, and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great- grandmother. She loved her time spent with her family and always found that one special thing about each that she was able to emphasize to let that person feel special.  
    Beginning her 59 year marriage with Granvill, she was a homemaker and mother, then
added the role of bookkeeper in their business, Lamb’s Garage.  In 1967, she became co-owner of Lamb’s Ambulance Service.  She was a licensed Emergency Medical Technician and also received her pilot’s license.  Marie retired with Granvill from their third business County Sweeping Service in 1992.  Continuing to be busy, Marie called BINGO at the Aroostook Center Mall and was President of the Star City Senior Citizens for 10 years.  She loved doing for her senior citizens and was always looking out for them whether it was just a phone call to check on them to fully working to be their advocate.  She will be missed by many.
