Marie was born in Uniontown, PA on November 27, 1925, the daughter of the late James and Eva Dandrea. Marie moved to Erie with her husband Henry and son Charles in 1953 and always considered Erie her home. Marie and Henry were instrumental in bringing her family to the Erie area.

She helped her husband Henry run Henri Hair Fashions in the Colony Plaza and she lived the longest in the family home on South Tracy Drive. Marie was devoted and loving to her husband Henry, son Chuck, and grandson Christopher.

Marie enjoyed walking Presque Isle, playing bridge with her friends and in particular reading.  She also volunteered at the Regional Cancer Center and Meals on Wheels.
