She attended Emanuel College. Marie was a licensed hair dresser, and worked as an administrative assistant for companies such as NFPA. She was an avid reader and could speak intelligently on many subjects. Marie loved to cook, watch movies, dance, and spend time with her family & friends as well as going shopping with her daughter-in-law's mom, Donna. She also loved and cared for animals of all kinds. She was the daughter of the late Michael and Kathleen Kavanaugh of Boston.
