Marie and her husband, Frank Miletello, served as president of their square dance organization, where in their spare time they loved to travel and square dance with their friends; she always hosted her canasta card club with elegance. Marie was an avid cook where she entered and won first place in a cooking contest for the Parish & State of Louisiana with her most recognized dish, “Brousaloma”. She loved to entertain in her home and always made sure you did not leave hungry.
