From there she travelled and worked in cities around Canada and the US from Nome, Alaska to Miami Beach, Fla. She met and married her husband William Joseph Whebby in Miami Beach on March 30, 1958. William preceded her in death in 1997. Marie was a gregarious person who loved to socialize and enjoy the company of others. Marie and Bill shared a love of dancing and were well known to clear the dance floor as others enjoyed their talents! She was a voracious reader and had a love of food and cooking. She was an example of living life to its fullest and never turned down an opportunity to meet new people or explore new places.
