Marie was a caring and compassionate person whose first love was helping others.  She would have given you the shirt off of her back.  An employee of over 35 years at Lady of the Sea Hospital, she started her career as a nurse's aide and later became a nurse.  She worked on the medical/surgical floor, ICU, labor and delivery, emergency room, and clinic.  Nursing was her passion but family was her heart.  She enjoyed needlecraft and cooking, especially baking.  Her family, friends and  coworkers enjoyed her tea cookies for holidays and red velvet cake for birthdays.

Special thanks to Gloria Cheramie for her care and compassion when home while under hospice care, the staff of Notre Dame and St. Joseph Hospice, and South Lafourche Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, especially Katie Callais, Jodie Gautreaux, Jodie Terrebonne, Tiffany Gisclair and Mr. Bob Duet.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to the American Cancer Society.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Marie Exposito.
