Marie Cavanaugh was living in Vallejo, California when Lisa Helen Cavanaugh and Adrian Hunt came to pick her up and bring her back home to Lawrenceburg, Indiana to live. Living in Lawrenceburg, Indiana would become very lonely for Marie after her daughters marriage to Adrian Hunt. Her daughter would have to live over the road and time to time she would get visits from Lisa two times a year. "I'm Lisa Hunt I'm writing this memorial for my mom Marie Cavanaugh and would like to say Marie was a very lonely soul in the end which I regret so MUCH. But in life we all have to pay bills and I couldn't be there for her when she really needed me. Mom refused to be put in a home or get a nurse to help her. So in the end I could have been there with her at home to make sure she was taken care of, but I have a husband and job and that's to be a good wife and I know my mom understood this. Marie told me this "to do as your husband says", and that's what I did and I know that I shortened her life. I love my mom with all my heart she was my life and soul. I know she's in a better place she's in heaven :') Love <3 you mom"
