Marie, the only child of Howard B. and Mabel (Ernst) Phillips, was born on July 16, 1931, in Mohrsville, Berks County, PA. She spent virtually all of her life in homes built by her father, who was a building contractor. Marie graduated from Hamburg High School and worked as a knitting mill machine operator. She married her husband of over 57 years, Robert Harvey Dietrich, in 1959.

Marie spent most of her adult life as a homemaker caring for her children, husband and extended family. Marie enjoyed country, big band and gospel music, hoedowns, and house visits to and from family and friends. She was a life member of Belleman's Lutheran Church in Mohrsville, PA, including serving on the church council and participating as a member of the Lutheran Church Women.

Â

Marie was pre-deceased by her husband Robert on March 30, 2017. She is survived by daughters, Sharon and Michele Dietrich, son, Carl Dietrich, son-in-law Scott Dietrich, and granddaughter Katie Dietrich. The family would like to personally thank all who have assisted in Marie's care during the past several years, particularly Marilyn, Denise, Brenda, Deb, Sylvia, Destine, Taylor, Brook, and Carolyn, and all the loving family and friends who showed their support and kindness.
