Marie Therese Jean-Louis (nee Ferdinand) passed away peacefully Sunday afternoon June 2, 2024 surrounded by her family. She was affectionately known as Mom, Grandma, Soeur Gerard, Soeur Jean-Louis, and Clavie. Born to Marie Celina Cham and Joseph Ferdinand, she was the oldest of four children and a big sister who always protected her siblings.
She married young at the age of 16 to Faustin Gerard Jean-Louis on November 27th 1954, where they had 12 children together. In late 1963, Marie accepted a bible study and in less than one year was dedicated and baptized to Jehovah in April 1964 at a Convention in Petionville, Haiti. They moved to the US in October 1970 and by summer of 1976 all 10 of her children were with her. All of her kids and those who truly knew and loved her were fortunate to have such a strong, beautiful and kindhearted woman in their lives. Mom was generous with everything including her love and affection to all around her and was greatly loved and respected by all.
