Cinderella "Marie" Cormier, a beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2026, in Beaumont, Texas. Born on October 25, 1945, in Welsh, Louisiana, Marie lived a life marked by devotion, kindness, and unwavering love for her family and faith.
Raised on a farm during her childhood, Marie developed the strong work ethic and gracious spirit that would define her character throughout her life. A proud graduate of Fenton High School in Fenton, Louisiana, she distinguished herself as Fenton High School Queen, FHA Officer, and Class Officer. She was actively involved in the FHA Committee and enjoyed playing softball and volleyball, instilling the values of teamwork and leadership early on.
Marie was a devoted parishioner of St. Henry Catholic Church, where her loving and joyful nature endeared her to all who knew her. She was known for her kindness and the rarity of negativity, always choosing to speak well of others and uplift those around her. Her warmth and genuine happiness radiated in her daily interactions, leaving an indelible impression on family, friends, and community members alike.
Her interests and hobbies reflected her keen mind and affectionate personality. Marie loved watching soap operas and game shows, a quiet joy she treasured. She found delight in watching church services on television, demonstrating her enduring faith even from home. Additionally, she was an avid player of Scrabble, word puzzles, and Sudoku, engaging her sharp intellect and love of challenge.
She was often reminiscent of June Cleaver, embodying the essence of a wonderful mother and grandmother. Marie’s strength in character and heartfelt care held her family together through decades of memories and milestones.
