After 25 years as the executive director of The Women’s Center, Inc (Waukesha) Marie retired in 2013. Prior to that she worked on issues of domestic violence and sexual assault/abuse in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan before she joined The Women’s Center in Waukesha in 1988.

In 1979 she helped to open the first domestic violence emergency shelter in Indianapolis, Indiana, her home town.
