Marie always had a passion for bridge and was an avid player. After many years of holding individual games all over San Antonio, she finally opened her own business, Bailey’s Bridge Studio, where for close to 20 years had provided a hot lunch and a warm smile for the bridge community in San Antonio. Although bridge was her livelihood, she considered her customers as family and friends and was known to always go out of her way for others.
