Marie was a native of Arnaudville and a resident of Cottonport, Louisiana. She graduated college from Holy Angels Academy in New Orleans, and entered the convent as a novitiate of the Marioniattes of the Holy Cross. After professing her first vows, she taught elementary school in Thibodeaux as Sister Mary Daniel.
Labeled at an early age by one of her uncles, “petite Farouche” (wild and untamed), Marie met the challenges of life with the spirit of one who loves life. Marie loved to travel – whether it was in the next town or across the world. She loved music and gardening, but most of all, being with people, especially her family.
Spreading her wings, she took lessons and learned to fly an airplane. Marie was an accomplished baker and was noted for her beautiful wedding cakes and ability to serve as a wedding coordinator. Later in life, Marie went back to school, graduated from T.H. Harris in nursing and worked as an LPN.
She was a member of St. Mary’s Altar Society, Catholic Daughters Court of Padre Pio, Schoenstatt Rosary Apostolate, Eucharistic Minister, Sacristan and Minister to the homebound.
Marie is survived by seven children, Suzanne White (Bob) and Juanita Brouillette (Rickey) of Cottonport, Marguerite Constantine (West) of Moreauville, Regina Corcoran (Dwayne) of Zachary, Gwen Cormier (Steve) of Alexandria, Chris Devillier Sr. (Mary Ellen) of Washington, and Paul F.
