Marie was born in Sungei Besi, Malaysia, and moved to Canada in 1979. She enjoyed her many years at the Fraser Institute, and valued the friendships she developed there. Marie had a beautiful smile and lit up every room she ever walked into. Marie had the rare ability to make anyone comfortable and loved whether she had know them for a lifetime or had just met them. When people speak of Marie they always speak of her as being a genuine, loving and caring person. A true testament of being a good human being is that the first words out of people's mouths when speaking of my mom is that they loved her and she was the nicest person they had ever met. Marie always lived life to the fullest. She always cared deeply about her family and all her friends. Marie requested to be buried with her beloved mother Julie Morris in the same cemetery.
