When WWI started she volunteered locally in Sigourney with the Red Cross and later moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the War Department. Following the war she returned first to Sigourney to work as a stenographer (this is shown in the 1920 census), then to Des Moines and took a position as a secretary at National Association of Des Moines, which is where she met Larry. Larry and Marie were married Dec 1, 1923 and continued to live in Des Moines. Their only child, Loren, was born on Thursday, Nov 20, 1924 at Mercy Hospital. Sadly, Marie did not survive his birth and she died that same day. A brief service was held in Des Moines on Friday with her many friends in Des Moines attending.
