Marjorie Mae Pellerin Poche was born in New Iberia, Louisiana on December 2, 1942, to the late Willis and Maudry Viator Pellerin.

Margie enjoyed playing tennis, playing cards with friends, going to the casino, reading, gardening, and doing puzzles with her great-grandchildren. Her passion was raising her girls and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She looked forward to Saturdays, when all the family would come over and she would cook pancakes. Margie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend who will be deeply missed.

In addition to her parents, Margie was preceded in death by a daughter, Denise P. Breaux; a grandson, Bradley Richardson; and a great-grandson, Lincoln Pharr.
