Mable Suire Constantine was born on October 31, 195 in Kaplan, Louisiana, and she spent her entire life in Forked Island. She dedicated over 40 years to the head start programs in Vermilion Parish. She was committed to teaching children, and for Mable her students were like her own children. She loved fishing, gardening, and working in her flower beds. She was an active member of her community and served as a first responder for the District 13 volunteer fire department in the late 1980s. More than anything, Mable was a loving mother and grandmother, affectionately known as "Granny" by her grandchildren. She was a wonderful cook and a talented baker. Mable also enjoyed playing cards and spending time with her friends, known as the "Golden Girls." She also found joy in the simple things in life, like sitting on her front porch in her rocking chair, enjoying the gentle afternoon breeze. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Mable is survived by her husband of 54 years, AJ Constantine of Forked Island; her son, Kevin Constantine (Cindy) of Forked Island; her daughter, Tanya Fontenot (Justin) of Kaplan; her grandchildren, Valari, Andrew, and Kodi Constantine, and Laney Toups; her great grandchildren, Opie Mathews, and Monroe Mathews; as well as her son in law, Jerry Toups of Forked Island. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alva and Dewey Suire; her daughter, Amanda Kelly Toups; and her brother, Mike Suire. Committal services will be held in St. Anne Catholic Cemetery in Cow Island. The family wishes to offer a special thank you to her cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Simpson; as well as Hospice of Acadiana for the care, and compassion that they offered Mable during her time of need. In lieu of flowers that family request the memorial donations be made to "American Heart Association" in memory of Mable Constantine. https://www.heart.org/?form=FUNUSPGVDBJ Arrangements have been entrusted to Cypress Funeral Home & Crematory, 206 W.
