Marie C. Barr of Upper Southampton, passed away suddenly on Sunday Jan. 27, 2019. She was 88. Marie was born in Philadelphia to Marie (Heenan) and John McPoyle.

Marie was known for her fabulous meals, especially Thanksgiving dinner. She was a voracious reader with a keen intellect and a memory that was unsurpassed.
