At an early age, Marie accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior. She was baptized and joined the High Bridge Baptist Church. She enjoyed giving God all the praise through her heartfelt testimonies and sharing about the goodness of God to everyone she met.

Though she was closed out of schools in Prince Edward County, she continued to seek higher education in New York. It was there where she received her graduate degree and diploma.

Marie later met and married the late Ollis Enders. She continued to strengthen her love and faith in the Lord by joining and being rebaptized at Kings Highway Apostolic Church in Yonkers, New York, under the leadership of the late Lucille and Bishop Ernest Hairston.
