Marie spent over 25 years working at Good Shepherd Medical Center and upon retirement was Communications Manager.

Marie was preceded in death by her husband George Rains. She is survived by her four children, six grandchildren, four great grandchildren, 2 brothers and her sister.

She was such a beautiful person. Strong, bold, direct, and always (I mean always) loving. She practiced both "tender hearted love" as well as "tough love". Marie did not know how to quit or give up, whether on people, or situations in life.

She also loved her four legged companions, best buds named Rocky, who was first. Duke (Dookie) second, and last but not least, Jake. Thank you for everything Mom, Mawmaw, Bitsy, and Marie. We will always love you!
