8-29-30 to 6-29-20. Marie was the loving daughter of Albert and Ida Moritz, and baby sister to beloved brother Carl (Betty) Moritz. Marie married her one and only Charlie (2004) in 1953, and together they lovingly raised children Janet (Keith) Johnston, Charlie (Kelly) and Linda (Paul) Chambless.
Marie was a hard and tireless worker and was proud of her many years as Payroll Supervisor at Kellwood Company. Her life was lived in service to God and others, first and foremost to her family. She was an adored grandmother “Momo” to Jessica (Eric) Wolbert, Stephanie (Ahren) Jetensky, Kristin (Kevin) Rapp, Ellen (Ben) Gathard, Charlie Stoltze, Ben and Mitch Chambless and delighted in her 10 great-grandchildren: Ethan, Noah, Adam, Jacob, Oliver, Cora, George, Richard, Mason and Max. In every aspect of her life, Marie gave to others. She was a lifelong church volunteer, a 10-year Oasis Tutor and spent decades as a Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary member, where she served in every role, including president. She was very happy in her last 10 years, living in the Friendship Village-Sunset Hills community, where again she served in many volunteer capacities and made many new friends. She will be greatly missed and always remembered as a loving, cheerful and giving aunt, cousin, neighbor and friend.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Marie was a wonderful friend and we shared many discussions about the Kellwood company. The president of Kellwood was on the board of the company I worked for. She always had time to talk and share stories. May the good Lord take care of her, she will be missed.
Charlie and Kelly,
Tom and I are so sorry for your loss. I know your Mom must have lived a happy and full life of almost 90 years. Now she can be with your dad, the love of her life.
Your family is in our prayers.
Tom and Laurie
