She was born on January 12, 1946, in Greenville, Ohio to the late Clarence and Lena Marie (Schmidt) Thwaits.
Marie is survived by her husband of 40 years, Gene Edward Rieman, whom she married on April 19, 1983; her children, Darrin (Jennifer) Brumbaugh of Rossburg, Darla Brumbaugh of Ansonia, Darlene (Jack) Royer of Ansonia, Lori (Doug) Davidson of Versailles, Shannon (Lee) Gehret of Willowdell, Tonya (Travis) Coning of Union City, and Naomi (Chad) Huntsman of Bellefontaine, Indiana; her 16 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren; her siblings, Barbrara Heck and Iris Bennett, both of Greenville, and Ronnie (Pat) Thwaits, Ansonia; and her sister-in-law, Carol Good of Greenville.

Marie was an amazing woman who spent her life taking care of her children and watching them grow up. She was quite the cook and enjoyed spending time in the kitchen. She found happiness camping with her family at the camping area on their property. Any day that she was able to spend time outside was a good day. She was absolutely in love with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and they were one of her greatest joys in life! Marie loved her family, but when her husband went fishing, she would stay away, she absolutely hated the worms!
