She was a library volunteer at Batesville Primary School and served 1,600 hours of volunteer work at Margaret Mary Health.
Marita loved to go fishing and camping and to do all types of crafts. She enjoyed the time spent with her friends at Romweber Flats playing Yahtzee and Bingo and would often bake cookies for those events.
To say she was an Elvis fan was an understatement as she had a large collection of his memorabilia. She loved to cook, with Pot Roast being a family favorite.
Marita’s true passion was her family. She enjoyed her dinners with Scott and Lee Ann. She loved spending every other weekend with Tony in Batesville and would prepare meals for him to take back with him to Bedford. Marita loved going on trips with her husband John and son Tony and especially enjoyed her time spent visiting her grandchildren in Michigan and Ohio.
