Marie R. Foco

New Iberia – A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date for Mrs. Marie R. Foco.

Marie passed away peacefully at the age of 88 on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 12:00 PM at Iberia Manor North Nursing Home.

Mrs. Foco was blessed with a very patient and understanding heart. She was the kind of lady that was always willing to listen. Her ability to listen for a deeper understanding was an asset to all who confided in her.  The positive and reassuring responses will be deeply missed by the friends and family that loved to chat with her.

She was always intrigued by the weather and she enjoyed watching the forecast so she could discuss trending weather patterns with family and friends. Though most of her life was spent as a homemaker, she did work for a short time at Jeanerette Mills Fruit of the Loom.  She was a devoted and cherished mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She is survived by her daughter, Mary F. Hebert and husband Kevin of Jeanerette, daughter Theresa Kay Foco of Jeanerette; granddaughter, Kristin Myers and her husband Christopher Eric of New Iberia, grandson, Bryce Anthony Hebert and girlfriend Caitlin Clement of Jeanerette, granddaughter, Renée M. Richie and fiancé Robert J. Curry of Jeanerette; great-grandchildren Carson A. Hebert, Madison M. Richie, and Cahil E. Cook.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years, Felix “Boy” Foco; her parents August Rogers and Mary Hebert Rogers; her son, Alvin “Bubby” Foco; her daughter in law, Rosalind Foco; grandson-in-law, Matthew Paul Romero.
