Marie (Laua Maria) Buntenbach was born in a fairground caravan in which her parents, who lived in Winschoten, were temporarily parked in Zuidbroek.[1] Among other things, she worked as a shop assistant,[2] maid and domestic help.[3] In 1928 she married Victor Kugler.

Marie Buntenbach suffered from an unknown illness. On 7 October 1952, Kleiman wrote to Otto Frank that she had been hospitalised and that her condition was bad. On 21 October, he added that she was very weak, slept a lot, hardly ate and had lost a lot of weight.[4] In his diary of 1952, Otto Frank noted her death one day later than the official date of 7 December.[5] During the hiding period, she was unaware of her husband's help for the people in hiding in the Secret Annex.[6]
