Marie was the daughter of Thomas P. Lyons, a native of Wales, and Marie A. Powers, an American citizen born in Canada. Her father, a sportswriter for the New York Sun who later became co-owner of a Wall Street brokerage firm, died when she was ten years old.
She attended Mount Saint Vincent Academy in Riverdale, New York and the Katharine Gibbs Business School.
Her work culminated in the formation of the Cerebral Palsy Association of Westchester County. Killilea expressed her religious convictions in her writings. In 1969, Marie was told by her doctors that she had a recurrence of lung cancer and had only three months to live.
On referral, she went to Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Philadelphia for treatment by Doctor Isaac Djerassi.
He prescribed huge doses of Methotrexate, a powerful drug, and in eight months, every trace of her cancer was reportedly eradicated. Marie Killilea died in 1991, aged 78.
