Native of Kaplan and a resident of Abbeville, Mrs. Suire died at 9:50PM on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at her residence. Marie loved Cajun dancing and was always ready to go whenever one of her favorite bands was playing. Her circle of friends at these venues included much younger people. She was always excited to tell about how many times she had been asked to dance.  Another love Marie had was going to the casino. On one of her bus trips to Marksville she called family members asking for help to pick up the motorcycle she had won. It took an effort to convince her that she was too old to ride a motorcycle and to accept the cash value instead.

She is survived by three sons, Glenn Suire and his wife Beverly of Abbeville, Sanford Suire and his wife Brenda of Abbeville, and Harold Suire and his wife Lynne of Baton Rouge; a daughter, Kay Breaux and her husband Glen of Breaux Bridge; nine grandchildren, Mark Suire and Ashlyn Grossie of Conway, AR, Jamie Hamilton of Venice, FL, Sy Suire of Sarasota, FL, Rachel Riley and her husband Michael of Baton Rouge, Tim Suire and his wife Kathryn of River Ridge, David Suire and Ali Bagbey of Baton Rouge, Scott Suire and his wife Tessy of Youngsville, Fr. Jared Suire of Lafayette, and Blair Artigue and her husband Scott of Breaux Bridge; thirteen great grandchildren, Andrew Artigue, Patrick Riley, William Riley, Allison Riley, Caitlin Suire, Kristen Suire, Stone Suire, Eleni Suire, Anlee Suire, Dalton Suire, Caroline Suire, Charlotte Suire, and Harry Suire; and three step great grandchildren, Brennan Barras, Tori Barras LeBlanc, and Devin Barras.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Dalton Suire; her parents, Enus and Aline LeBlanc Dubois; a brother, Pervis Dubois; and a sister, Theresa Henry.

Serving as pallbearers will be Mark Suire, Sy Suire, Scott Suire, Tim Suire, David Suire, and Patrick Riley.
