Marie, who was also known as "Ms. Elaine Anderson: · immigrated to the United Kingdom in 1965. She was educated in the Manchester England School System. She loved to travel, and she crisscrossed the globe with style and flair. Her love of the Arts soon brought her to America in 1972. Marie regularly performed in stage plays as a part of the Titus Walker Ujamaa Black Theater at the Carter Theater in Times Square, New York.

Marie was a social worker and Life Coach as helping others was her life-long passion. She was always looking to help, feed, and uplift someone in need. Her generosity helped to improve the lives of those who were fortunate enough to cross her path. Most recently, she was employed as a home health aide/caretaker with Griswald Home Care of New Jersey. Marie was also known for being a talent scout and hosting talent shows, directed at keeping youth out of trouble. She served the Trenton community and immigrants with tireless devotion and fortitude through her work with many non-profit social service initiatives and programs. She was a leader and companion regarding issues related to women and community development, creating an initiative called "Raise-A-Village."

Her love of building community led to many annual events, like Solidarity Day at Cadwallader Park in Trenton, New Jersey and the pilgrimage to the West Indian Parade in Brooklyn, New York. She was a marvelous cook, FIERCE Mama Bear, and the most loving grandmother imaginable.
