Marie graduated from Willis High School and Radford College, receiving her B.S. degree in Home Economics and Science. She began her teaching career at Check High School in Floyd County in 1943. During her tenure at Check she met her husband and soul mate, Lee D. Lucas. They moved to New Jersey in 1952 and she continued her studies at Rutgers University. While in New Jersey, Marie and Lee became active members of the Matawan Presbyterian Church where they taught Sunday School. Marie taught school in the Hazlet Township for 23 years. She loved teaching children and often expressed her satisfaction and pride in her long teaching career. One of her favorite poems ends with the line, "But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child." Marie and Lee retired and moved back to their beloved Virginia in 1976. They built a home near Buffalo Mountain Presbyterian Church, in Willis, Virginia, where they lived until Lee's death in 1999.
