Biografi i relation til Skagen
Født og opvokset i Skagen Østerby, hvor hun ligesom søsteren Hulda levede hele sit liv. Begge opholdt sig dog som halvvoksen en tid i København for at supplere deres skolelærdom og dannelse.
Førte i 1878 hus i Valby gamle skole for sine søskende Degn og Anna samt Michael Ancher.
Deltog ligesom søsteren Hulda i sine unge dage i samværet med de tilrejsende gæster i Skagen, men gled snart over i en mere tjenende rolle. Efter moderens død overtog Marie ansvaret for Brøndums hotels personale, som hun ledede med stor myndighed. Søsteren Hulda var ansvarlig for køkkenet.
Fra 1935, hvor Hulda døde, var hun ene ansvarlig for hotellet. Hun kom kun uden for hotellet, når hun om søndagen skulle i kirke.
I 1939 chokerede hun alle ved at tage på en rundflyvning over Skagen - som 89-årig!
Marie døde som den sidste af de 6 søskende i 1945, hvorefter Spisestuen som var testamenteret til Skagens Museum umiddelbart efter krigen blev flyttet til Museet.
Biography in relation to Skagen
Born and raised in Skagen Østerby, where she, like her sister Hulda, lived all her life. Both, however, spent some time in Copenhagen as middle-aged children to supplement their schooling and education.
In 1878 she lived in the old school in Valby with her siblings Degn and Anna and Michael Ancher.
Like her sister Hulda, in her youth she took part in the company of the visitors to Skagen, but soon took on a more service role. After her mother's death, Marie took over responsibility for the staff of Brøndum's hotel, which she managed with great authority. Her sister Hulda was responsible for the kitchen.
From 1935, when Hulda died, she was solely responsible for the hotel. She only went outside the hotel on Sundays when she went to church.
In 1939 she shocked everyone by taking a flight over Skagen - at the age of 89!
Marie died as the last of the 6 siblings in 1945, after which the Dining Room, which had been bequeathed to Skagen Museum immediately after the war, was moved to the Museum.
