Marie Desir

I am writing to you today to let you know about the loss of Marie Desir, the Matriarch of the Desir Family. Mama Desir passed on 9/27 after years of fighting for her life through many health battles, which exemplified how tenacious and strong she was.

Mama Desir dedicated her life to her children and grandchildren. All her life decisions hinged on that fact. She migrated to the US in 1979 to create a better life for her family. She could always be counted on for support to her loved ones back in Haiti or in the states. Mama Desir took on the role of mother for her grandchildren after the passing of her daughter who’s left 2 young babies. Her life goal was all about building a better life for her children while being the Rock they all needed and deserved.

Marie is survived by her children Ricardo, Martine, David, Donald, Reginald, Gary and her grandchildren Tracy, Sebastian, Marvin, Diante , Leanna, Mikey, Richcard, Donovan, and Declan .

We are all devastated by Marie’s loss and not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Marie the memorial she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time.

As we work out the details for her memorial and final celebration of her life we will make available.
