Mary V. Colie

Mary is a resident of Huron Township, Michigan. She is retired from teaching. Well, sort of. Over the course of the decades Mary has taught elementary school, high school, pre-school, college, and adult continuing education. The subject areas vary from French, to tai chi, to writing, to preparation for ACT exams. When the opportunity presents itself, she still enjoys teaching any and all of the above. Mary shares life with her husband, Matthew, who will celebrate with her their 50th wedding anniversary in July 2022. Both love live music and were involved in the founding of the East River Folk Society, which presented monthly informal folk and traditional concerts in Grosse Ile and Wyandotte for about 30 years. Both also are sailors and have fond memories of fair winds and gentle waves on Lake Erie.
