She was the cherished sister of John Holland, Philip Holland and his wife Kathryn and Ed Holland. She is survived by many loving family members and friends. Marie had a smile that shined as bright as a star. Her kids were her all. She married her best friend and they shared a beautiful partnership for 23 years, creating endless memories. Marie was patient, strong, and had a heart like no other. She would do anything for anyone. In her spare time, she enjoyed spending time with family, visiting the cape, and doing everything she could to put a smile on people's faces.
