Marie Sowulewski

To Marie's family, I am saddened to read of Marie's passing. We bowled on the same league at Stardust for years and I remember when she adopted her sons and I had also babysat a few times for them when they were real little. I remember Elaine also from bowling. My heart goes out to her family and friends in this most difficult time. Sandy (Walk) Hansen

For Marie's family: When I heard of Marie's passing I was deeply saddened, Marie was a bright light and I had many inspiring talks with her. She always pushed me to do better, encouraged me to reach for my dreams. She had the most amazing laugh and it made everybody around her laugh out loud, too. She put a smile on my face every time I saw her and I will always remember her spit-fire spirit. She inspired me to draw again, and I did... I will be forever grateful to Marie for her advice and kind words. I am humbled to have been friends with such a strong, beautiful, and beloved woman. May her memory live on forever in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy to Marie's family. We bowled together in the same league for years and she was always happy and put a smile on your face. Although our paths haven't crossed in years, I will always remember her. May she rest in peace. Julie (Blodgett) Behmlander

My deepest sympathy to Marie's family. I regret I will not be there Saturday to rejoice in Maries life, I have known here for a while and will miss her. I will remember my wedding with her in it and the trips to her cabin and the fun we had. The Friday lunches at Hills and patty flemings. Midge Portner

Marie's position at the Diocese of Saginaw during her employment there was as my Secretary while I was the Chancellor of the Diocese. I remember her as being very efficient, prompt, pleasant, and upbeat. She was of great assistance to me in the fullfillment of my responsibilities. I continue to be grateful and have already celebrated Mass for her soul on the occasion of her entrance into eternal life. May the Lord have welcomed her into his Heavenly Kingdom! (Most Rev.)
