Merrin,
I don’t know if you realised that Marie worked at Wollongong Public Library before she commenced work at the Illawarra Mercury.
Sadly I lost contact with Marie once she went to the Illawarra Mercury but could relate to Marie’s qualities of a great sense of humour and wonderful work ethic in your tribute.
In those days, the Library staff would go out to dinner on special occasions and would always order in advance. On more than one occasion, when the first meals were brought out and the owners sought, Marie would say “that’s mine”. However, after Marie had taken her first bite of dinner and the second load was brought out, Marie would laugh and say “actually that
is the one I ordered”!
We shared a very special friend!
Rest peacefully, Marie.
Carolyn
