A native of Delcambre, Ms. Marnell was born on April 13, 1950, to the late Eunick and Lily Rogers Saunier, and was a 1968 graduate of Delcambre High School. She retired as the Chief Deputy for the Iberia Parish Assessors Office, after 30 plus years of service. Ms. Marnell enjoyed traveling with her husband, cooking, baking, and fishing. She always loved and looked forward to planning a yearly vacation with all her children and grandchildren to enjoy, together with her and her husband. 

Ms. Marnell was most definitely the mother everyone wished they had and the grandmother to her special grandchildren that most could only dream of. She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brothers, Eunick Saunier, Jr., Clifford Saunier, and Patrick Saunier, Sr.
