A native of Loreauville and resident of New Iberia, Mrs. Cormier passed away on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at Lafayette General Medical Center in the morning. She was born April 9, 1941and lived her life focused on her family. She was born into a small family and had one sister who she loved dearly, however her role as a wife, mother, and most especially a grandmother were her most treasured titles in life.

Mrs. Cormier enjoyed her time reading, watching TV, canvassing, doing picture puzzles, crossword puzzles, playing scrabble, crocheting and needlepoint, painting and doing things with her family, and giving her talents to others. It made her happy to paint, and listen to her husband while he played the guitar and sang with their daughter.  She was the type of woman that never spoke a bad word or thought about anyone. She never judged anyone. Ms. Marietta was an active member of Nativity of Our Lady Catholic Church and she enjoyed helping her husband in bringing joy to other church members.  They brought altar boys camping in safe and fun environments and volunteered to help with the bazaars at the church. She had a big, sweet and loving heart and she will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her daughter, Mandy Cormier of St. Martinville; two granddaughters, Paige Weaver and fiancée Justin Mire of New Iberia and Desi Cormier of St. Martinville; great grandchildren, Aavyn Mire and Layth Mire of New Iberia; sister, Jackie Berard and husband Autry of New Iberia, nephews, Autry Berard II and Mike Kimble both of St. Martinville; niece Claudette Linford of St. Martinville; great niece, Stephanie Domingue of St. Martinville; and great great nieces Lily Domingue of St. Martinville, Kaylee Powers of Arizona; and great great nephew, Jonathan Powers of Arizona.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Rodney “Rock” Cormier; her parents, Claude and Mazel Vaughn; and one great nephew, Stephen Anthony Berard.

Honored to serve as Pallbearers are Justin Mire, Trent Lasseigne, Corey Landry, Joshua Cormier, Colby Cormier, Joshua Domingue and Autry Berard II.
