Fun Facts: 
Marie’s love for extra strong coffee is legendary. It’s been said that she alone has kept the Carlisle Starbucks in business. Marie is the oldest of six siblings, which undoubtedly fed the maternal tendencies that her daughter and son enjoy today. In addition to lots of family time, Marie enjoys retreating to the gym, getting lost in a great book, or indulging in a marathon of cooking shows. However, despite her extensive knowledge of the culinary world through TV, that expertise hasn’t quite translated into cooking skills of her own—yet!
