Born in northern Manitoba, Canada, Marilee moved several times in her youth, until settling down in Douglas, New Brunswick. Th ere she and her loving, supportive husband raised three active children, while pursuing her career as a teacher. Although faced with numerous challenges and blessings, Marilee has managed to stand fast in her faith, giving hope and encouragement to others as God leads her. With God’s strength, she has maintained a fairly active life, including participating in her local church and with the local Christian school’s International Homestay program.
As an educator, Marilee teaches most eff ectively through story telling. Th us, writing feels like a natural transition as she nears the end of a 30-year teaching career. Marilee is delighted to write about her life experiences, with the hope of inspiring others.
