Marie was a pillar of our musical community. She taught so many of us to enjoy music as our teacher and influenced many to pursue their music after leaving school. She shared her considerable talents as an accompanist of many singers and choirs for most of her life and did so with such grace and skill.
We won’t forget her contributions to our community. Sincere condolences.

There are people that leave memories in your lifetime that warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. Marie was one of those people that I have talked about often, especially with my children. Her name will be forever etched in my memory for her dedication and the love she showed during my Brooklyn Elementary Scool years. She helped me reach goals that I would have never pushed myself to do. She will forever be Mrs.Mouzar in my heart. To her family I extend my deepest condolences to you and may your special memories of her be as cherished.

I was always very admiring of Marie’s piano playing. She was a wonderful accompanist and I have an enduring image of Marie and Maddie playing their Christmas duets at the Kiwanis concert. I also have a strong image of you, Charlie, sitting by her at the Manor when Zion there for services and how caring you were through her more challenging stage of life.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cookie Trainor
Charlie. Please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Marie. She took me under her wing when I returned and retired here at home. She took Mom out for coffee every day and then we started going for coffee every day to McDonald’s. She was a beautiful piano player and she SO loved music that it rubbed off on everyone she knew. We sure miss her at church. She was also involved in IODE for several years as Education Officer which she really enjoyed. We used to go Music Festival together even after she stopped playing. Keep the memories close to your heart. If there is anything I can do for you, I am only a phone call away. Love Cookie and Munchkin

We are saddened to learn of Marie’s passing. Marie ‘s contribution to the outstanding musical prominence of Liverpool and the South Shore was huge. She accompanied hundreds of vocalists and choirs in music festivals and was herself an extremely capable performing pianist. She was also a great friend and mentor.
Murray Kirkpatrick
Charlie I’m so sorry to hear Marie has died. I have fond memories of fixing her dinner when she accompanied kids prepping for the Music Festivals. We’d take a break and she’d be back hard at it. She supported so many children over the years. She was truly amazing. My thoughts are with you.
Terry & Stephanie Hurrell
Charlie and Family:
With fond memories. When we came to Liverpool in 1968, Marie had been the music teacher in the Town Schools for many years. She had done such terrific work with the children and it was pleasure to take over this role. My tasks were made so easy because the students loved their music. Marie continued to be involved in the musical community over the years: Music Festivals, Winds of Change, Kiwanis Concerts, partnering Maddie Keay on two pianos, accompanying the children and adults, always with that kindly smile and exceptional talent. Thank you, Marie, for sharing your music; thank you, Charlie, Pete & Mike, for looking after her so well in later life.
Terry & Stephanie Hurrell.
Randy and Cordelia Jaggernathsingh
We heard of Marie’s passing and we are very sad. She was a beautiful music teacher, and
I enjoyed working with her and learning all the songs that she taught my class in Mill Village.
Randy enjoyed her inspirational music lessons in elementary school.
She was very friendly and nurturing to all she met.
She will be greatly missed.
Linda Williams
I am saddened to hear of Mrs . Mouzars passing .I had her for my music teacher at Port Mouton School . She had a lovely
voice and I remember being inspired to sing because of her warm, sincere smile and gentle ,calm demeanor. Even outside
of school she always called you by name when she met you making you feel special. When I use to see her around town, long after Port Mouton school, I always marvelled at how she looked the same and would tell my children that she was my
music teacher in elementary school and that I felt she was surely drinking from the fountain of youth. So sorry for your loss
of such a gifted lady. Prayers to all at this difficult time .Linda Williams
