Marie Augustin

2 Corinthians 5:6-8

Marie Augustin gained her wings on the night of Sept 6, 2023. She was born to Nezelia Voltaire -Augustin and Michel Augustin in Ouanaminthe, Haiti. She married the late Jean Juliot Carmand on March 23, 1955, they had seven daughters and then she emigrated to Spring Valley, NY in 1980.

Marie was a virtuous woman who believed in her walk with God. She lived her life as a true Christian woman and believed in the power and guidance of her faith. She encouraged her family and friends to read their bible, get right with God and follow their faith (no matter what it was) with humility, integrity, respect, and commitment.

Marie Augustin was a doting stay-at-home parent with an entrepreneurial spirit. Although taking care of her family was her main priority, she always found ways to better herself by ensuring she learned the English language, starting a daycare out of her home and selling odds & ends. She was a firm believer in self-sufficiency and in the power of voting in her local elections, she took immense pride in that. Marie was an excellent cook, she enjoyed watching cooking shows and trying new recipes.

Marie had an unwavering commitment to her seven children. She had an authoritative and loving parenting style. She was extremely nurturing, caring, easy to talk to, loving and was always willing to learn from her children as well. She set the example when it came to being a homemaker, wife, mother, and a good friend.

She is survived by six loving children, Annemasse Etienne, Annecie Morisseau, Annie Labbe, Anne Carmand - Vixamar, Betty Carmand and Sierpienne Carmand-Brown. Marie was preceded in death by her daughter Annette Carmand-Exalus.

Marie is also survived by her Grandchildren, Rachel Mancone, Joy Anne Broyles, Chantae Vazquez, Presline & Annecia Morisseau, Natasha Jean-Baptiste, Jordan & Daynara Elysee, Sebastian Leak, Shane & Cody Brown, Jennifer Joseph Zamis, Anthony Simon, Patrick Lundi, Scott Labbe, Givlore Labbe- Philogene, Christopher Monrose Zachary Exalus & preceded in death by her Grandson, Maxime Labbe. They will remember her as Momma that filled their plates up with food.

She also left behind loving great-grandchildren, Sa’Rynedi,, Sa’Ny, Skylar & Sam’Mya Broyles, Chris & Emily Mancone, Nevaeh Jackson, Gelina Smith, Adore Lovett, Jolie & Isabelle Jean-Baptiste, Bryson Philogene & her sister Josephine Salvant.

Marie Augustine will be remembered by her family, caretakers, church brethren and close friends for being dignified, patient, diligent, courageous, wise, generous and most of all being a devoted mother.
