Key West Bad Bitch Spanish Marie

Marie Waite married Charlie Waite a well know rum runner whose family was based in Key West. After an early morning raid on his boat with a fellow rum runner, Charlie was shot and fell overboard. The death of her husband fueled her anger for the Coast Guard, so she picked up where Charlie left off and began running rum to Key West and Miami on speed boats and schooners. During the 1920s this was a tall feat for any man let alone a woman rum runner to accomplish and she did it better than anyone!

After having so many run ins with the law for minor rum offenses and then a big raid which she went to court for, Marie disappeared from site and was thought to have gone on the run by most, but did she? She showed back up after prohibition had ended years latter right before the war in 1939. A rum runner? No! She had opened a car repair and autobody shop and was the first women owner/mechanic in south Florida. Marie is not only smart but has adaptability to change with the environment. She went on to have 5 more husbands, do great things with Church, charity, and other businesses.
