Marie was born on January 10, 1931, in Wilson, North Carolina, to the late Arthur and Zenobi Nichols. Blessed with 70 years with her sweetheart, J.E. Harrell, they had a fulfilling life together. With his role as Fire Marshall in Carteret County, Marie happily worked and volunteered with the Fire Department.
