Marie Katherine Trossbach, 87, of Hollywood, MD died June 30, 2014 at her residence with family by her side.

Born January 21, 1927 in Great Mills, MD, she was the daughter of the late Clarence Matthew Aud and Estelle Agnes Aud.

On June 7, 1947, Marie married her late husband, Joseph Otto Trossbach, Sr. Together, they celebrated 47 wonderful years of marriage before his passing in June 1994.

Marie helped her husband run the family farm raising tobacco. She enjoyed gardening, both vegetable and flower. She was an excellent cook, and baked many delicious cakes.

When she was in her 50's she went to work for PRB Associates (now Northrop Grumman) for almost 20 years cleaning. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, especially babysitting for her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a long time member of St. Johns Regis Catholic Church in Hollywood, MD.
