IT SEEMS THERE'S VERY LITTLE ANYONE CAN SAY OR DO TO EASE THE LOSS OF ONE WHO MEANT SO VERY MUCH TO YOU, BUT MAY YOU FIND SOME COMFORT IN THE SORROW THAT YOU BEAR, JUST KNOWING THERE ARE MANY HEARTS THAT UNDERSTAND AND CARE. WITH HEARTFELT SYMPATHY, EDDIE & FAYE BALLARD

My Aunt Marie ... always played with me in the hallway of MaMa and DaDda's home. We would bounce balls and hit balloons in that hallway space. She was the first Black woman opera singer, I thought, that I knew. Melodious and engaging. Quick-witted, hard-working, and the best fried chicken cooker on this side and the other side of the Mississippi. I will always have fond memories of my Aunt Marie. Love always...

It is with deep sadness,we offer sincere condolences to Temerial,Rev.William E.Simmons,Joyce and Family.Marie loved her family and was there whenever and wherever she was needed.She will be truly missed.Please know you all are in our prayers.May the precious memories of Marie be forever in your hearts.
