After retiring, Marie assisted Billy and her son in the family business, BJ Bishop Painting. She kept the books mostly but would sometime assist the boys with the painting. Marie enjoyed sewing and quilting. Arts and crafts were a passion of hers. Most of all, Marie dearly loved her family, especially her grandchildren.
