Marie was born to Clara Pagay and Rupert Goicoechea on February 10, 1946, in Gooding, Idaho, always proud of her Basque heritage. She graduated from Richfield High School in 1964, attended Idaho State University and graduated from the Twin Falls Business School.

Together, they enjoyed gardening, fishing and canning the fruits and vegetables of their toil. They traveled to many places within the United States including Hawaii and Alaska for their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
