As a young woman, she was a high school teacher, and after her marriage to Methodist Minister Eddie Smith, she dedicated her time to serving in the small industrial towns in which they were posted. Later, Marina and Eddie ran their charity and community church which supported those in need in underserved communities in the UK and around the globe. In particular, she ran a series of charitable projects in Poland (1981-83), India (1985-1992), and Kosovo (1999). the cause of the death is not yet known to the public.
Marina was key to the development of a network of survivor speakers. She organized their program of speaking daily both at the Centre and around the country, coordinating all aspects of their involvement from training to the daily logistics of their speaking engagements.
