She lived with her husband in Europe in the years directly after World War II, witnessing first hand the destruction that

in the Sacramento community for many years. She became a peace activist, and was a founding member among the Auburn Chapter
of Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Visiting 99 countries in her lifetime, May d’Marie collected information
on international community building and frequently presented her information to the Sacramento community through formal lectures
