Mary P. Saunier

Abbeville - A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at 11:00 am in Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Delcambre for Mary P. Saunier, age 80, who passed away peacefully at The Carpenter House on Sunday, March 3, 2024, in Lafayette. Mary P. Saunier was born on July 22, 1943, in Lafayette and she was a longtime resident of Delcambre before relocating to Abbeville. She loved and missed her husband, Morris until the day she passed away. Mary’s favorite color was yellow and she adored receiving yellow roses, which made her smile. She cherished joking with her family and friends and buying them presents with the words “I love you” on them. When she loved you, she loved with a giving heart and accepted you as one of her own. Mary was the Cafeteria Manager at Delcambre Elementary until her retirement. She would say, “I loved feeding all of my children from Delcambre”. She enjoyed camping, fishing, crabbing, spoiling her grandchildren, and above all to play Santa Clause for her great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed. Mary P. Saunier is survived by Cheri Saunier of Delcambre and Michelle Saunier Dupre (Rickey) of Abbeville; her honorary son, Douglas Wolf (Angela) of Erath; her grandchildren, Lacey Fontenot (Phillip), Jennifer Gaspard (Christopher), and John Dupre (April); her honorary grandchildren, Robert Kyle Singer and Kyle Bourque; her great-grandchildren, Robert Joel Singer, Katelyn Remy Dupre, Alyssa Karen Pommier, Briggs Michael Gaspard, Jason John Dupre, and Halli Grace Dupre; as well as her god-children, David Wolf, Tammy Saunier Sanderson, Reni Landry, and Randell White. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 42 years, John Morris Saunier; her parents, Wilson Pommier and Aurelia Boudreaux Pommier; as well as her siblings, Arther “Boy” Pommier, Eugenia “Jenny” Pommier Lancon, and Pauline Pommier Hardy. The family wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to Skyla, Gennie, Candice and Elizabeth with St. Joseph Hospice and The Carpenter House, Rachel and Candice Fontenot, Cheryl Dupre Salas, Mary Campbell, and Penny Viator Segura for the care and compassion they offered Mary P. Saunier and her family during her time of need. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in memory of Mary P. Saunier to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, stjude.org.
