Maree was a longstanding member of St. Timothy Lutheran Church. Her family brought her the greatest joy in her life and her daily quiet times with Jesus were a main priority. Maree had a heart for others and encouraged everyone she met. Her sense of humor never failed to bring a smile. She was greatly loved and will be extremely missed. She was surely welcomed into heaven with the words “Well done.”
