She was baptized and confirmed at Salem United Church of Christ and attended the Frankville School through the 10th grade. On March 5, 1942 she married Harold Charles Hoffman at Salem Church. Marie and Harold farmed the Grotegut home farm near Frankville for 20 years. Marie was a busy homemaker and mother, but also very involved with all aspects of the farming operation. In 1966 they moved to Lamont, IA for a few years and returned to the farm in 1970. Marie then spent 20 years working as a medical and physical therapy aid at Northgate Care Center in Waukon.

Marie also volunteered her time at the Allamakee County Food Shelf and the Good Samaritan Center in Waukon.
Marie stayed active throughout her life. She enjoyed the outdoors, especially doing yardwork and gardening. Inside, she liked to crochet, bake and spend time doing genealogy research. In 1971 she studied for and received her GED. She was a faithful visitor to friends who needed help and enjoyed going on outings and attending community events.
