Anne-Marie Dubosse

Anne-Marie Dubosse (neé Louhisdon), affectionately known as Joujoue, was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti on September 23, 1947. She was the first child and only daughter of Odette Casimir and Benoit Louhisdon Jr.

As a teenager in Port-au-Prince, she attended Lycée Des Jeunes Filles before immigrating to Brooklyn, New York.

Odette, a teacher at a school in Fond Parisien, introduced Joujoue to her future husband, Felix Dubosse, who was the principal there. Although Joujoue and Felix immigrated to Brooklyn separately, they were reunited after Felix and Odette bumped into each other on a street in Flatbush. Anne-Marie and Felix rekindled their romance and were married on May 16, 1970.

Joujoue started her career in New York as a bookkeeper with Brooks Brothers. She eventually moved on to Chase Manhattan Bank (later JPMorgan Chase) where she worked for 35 years in various positions, which included work on check forgeries, foreign exchange, procurement, and international accounts. In 1998, she completed a three-year course from Cornell University’s New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations sponsored by Chase.

Joujoue was a devout Catholic and proactive member of St. Jerome's Church in Brooklyn. At St. Jerome’s, she completed a Catechist Development Course and taught children as part of the parish religious education program.

Joujoue was known for her loving and compassionate nature. She enjoyed both spending time with her family and doting on them. She was also an excellent cook.

In 2007, Joujoue and Felix constructed their dream home in Palm Bay, Florida. In Palm Bay, she joined the congregation of Our Lady of Grace.

Joujoue is survived by Felix, her husband of nearly 50 years; her daughter, Nancy and her husband, Jean-Frederic Theodore; her son, Felix Jr. and his wife, Lonene; her son, Richard and his wife, Tanya; her four grandchildren: Yanis, Gian, Issa, and Joshua; her brothers, Jean-Robert Louhisdon and Pierre Louhisdon, their families and numerous other dear relatives and friends.
