time with her dear family. Born sixty-four years ago to the late Matthew and Audry (Delaney) |

traveling, theatre, the arts, cooking, entertaining, the lake house, her book club, and spending time |
|
1-17 |
with her children; and |
|
1-18 |

her life; and |
|
2-21 |
WHEREAS, Our greatest tribute to Marite would be to emulate the attributes which made |
|
2-22 |
her an outstanding wife, mother, aunt, sister, and friend. Marite Koch will live on for many years |
|
2-23 |
to come in the memories of everyone fortunate enough to have been touched by the quality of this |

2-24 |
remarkable woman; now, therefore be it |
