She was a waitress for a period of time, and then worked as a telephone operator. She then worked for HyVee as an Executive Assistant for 28 years, retiring in 1989. She finished her working career at the VA in Des Moines, where she worked for 34 years as a scanning technician up until her passing. Through the years she was employed by the VA, she received many service awards. It was a two-hour daily commute to Des Moines and back, which showed her dedication. She loved her job dearly. It gave her much fulfillment, and she was respected and loved by many coworkers. Marie moved from Chariton to Knoxville in 1996.
