Larnay. Marie worked along with the nuns to teach her deafblind sister to read
Braille, to knit, and to play games. In 1911 Marie was described as leading a busy life: "As skillful as she is clever, she sews a little and excels in all sorts of crochet-work, knitting, brush-making, and chair-bottoming." She enjoyed playing dominoes with visitors to the convent, and preferred reading and writing to manual labor. Her pious nature made her a favorite of the nuns and students at the school. During World War I Marie kept abreast of the news and knitted socks for soldier in the trenches. When new deafblind girls joined the school, they looked up to Marie as a role model.

She could eventually communicate in six ways: by signs, fingerspelling, reading the Braille and Ballu alphabets, and by writing with a pencil and typing with a typewriter. Marie was taught grammar, arithmetic, knitting, sewing, and other subjects, in addition to abstract concepts like death and God. She was particularly fond of geography, using tactile maps for the blind to explore the terrain of France and Europe. Her biographer wrote that because she was the daughter of a poor couple, "it was not thought desirable to educate her above her class."

When the child found that she was left behind by her father and great-aunt she fell into a fury, which hardly abated for two months." After the initial difficult two months, the sisters began trying to teach Marie

Marie was the couple's first child of nine, but only six lived past their infancy. Several of the children were born either blind or deafblind, including Marie, who was born deafblind; Stanislas (born 1896), born deaf and partially sighted; and Marthe (born 1902), also deafblind.

Around 1909, a 12-year-old deafblind girl, Anne-Marie Poyet, arrived at Larnay. Heurtin joined Sister Sainte-Marguerite in instructing the girl in fingerspelling and
Braille. Sister Ste. Marguerite died in 1910, when Heurtin was 24. That same year, Heurtin's younger sister, Marthe, joined Heurtin at

Marie spent the first ten years of her life at her family's home with no formal instruction. She was described as having "passionate outbursts of despair and rage." In March 1895, when she was ten, Marie's father brought her to the Notre Dame de Larnay near
