Nerilia Jean

Nerilia Dachoute Jean was born on June 3, 1936, and passed away on April 8, 2026. She shared 72 years of life with her husband, Louis Joseph Chapotin Jean, to whom she always showed love, respect, and devotion. But above all, she was a woman deeply devoted to her children.

She created a blessed legacy through her family.

Her children: Merope Jean, Luna Jean Joachim, Reynold Jean, Jean Claude Jean. Her grandchildren: Judney, Jessica, Naomi, Kenny, Rebecca, Maya, Nathalie, Judley, Krystle. Her great-grandchildren: Jacob, Chloé, Zyon, Zayne, Nyla, Alexa, Elijah, Leah, Nelah, Kai Jean Claude, Raymond Alexander Jr.

From the day she came to faith, she lived humbly in the will of God. Her relentless faith was the cornerstone that brought many others in the family to faith. She leaves behind a legacy of prayer and devotion to our Father that will reverberate through this family for generations to come. Her indelible mark of faith will continue to bless her children and all who follow after her.

Nerilia lived a life of faith and service. A humble and deeply generous woman, she was always there for others. Her life was defined by quiet acts of service, never seeking recognition, yet leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed her path. She gave freely of her time, her energy, and her love, often placing the needs of others before her own. Her natural kindness made her a pillar for her family and a role model for those around her.

All were welcome in her home, and she touched the lives of so many in meaningful and lasting ways. Whether through preparing meals, offering clothing, opening her home, or lifting others up in prayer, she served with a full and willing heart. She had a gift for making people feel seen, cared for, and valued. Her service was not just in what she did, but in how she loved—with compassion, humility, and grace.

She understood that serving others was a reflection of her faith, and she carried this calling with quiet strength and unwavering dedication. The seeds of kindness and generosity she planted in the lives of others will continue to grow for years to come.

Rest in peace, with your Father. Your love will live on in our hearts.
