In her retirement, she compassionately spent her time caring for others in their homes. She is a member of the Holy Family Catholic Church and served in the Rosary Society for many years. Her parents Onofrio and Frances Mangia immigrated from Sicily before her father served in the U.S. Army during WWI.
Her siblings, Anthony Mangia and Anne Howell preceded her in death; and she is survived by her brother, Sam Mangia. Marie was the wife of Anthony Ray, son of Gas City Mayor Bob Ray and Marguerite Ray. Marie is the mother of seven children, Michael (deceased), Theresa Ogletree (Bobby), Patricia Ray (Bill), Robert Ray (Cindy), William Ray (Jennifer), Thomas Ray (Kathy), James Ray (Maggie).
