Before her husband, Bob, passed away they enjoyed going to their lake house at Sam Rayburn, where they would relax and go fishing together.

Later, Marie spent all of her time with her “grandchildren” and other family. For over 30 years she met monthly with a group of her friends they called The Lunch Bunch. Marie was a very charitable person and donated to many Christian Organizations, especially those affiliated with Billy Graham.

Marie was a very loving and caring woman who always had a smile on her face and never met a stranger. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. The world is a little less bright and a little less beautiful.

She was preceded in death by parents, Ollie and Margie Covington; and her husband, R. L. Black. Marie is survived by her sister, Evelyn Skipper; her niece, Kimberly Soza and husband Donny; and her “granddaughters”, Sophia and Isabella, all of Sugar Land.
