Marianne Nita Jean-Mary

Our beloved Marianne Nita Jean-Mary was born in Chansolme Port-de-Paix, Haiti, on April 3, 1960. Nita’s biological mother was Mèralise Jean, but from a young age she was raised by her adopted mother Marie Lucienne Lamour in Cap Haïtien. In 1986, after her biological mother passed away, Nita went to Port-au-Prince to attend her funeral and then moved there to live with her biological brother Jean Robert Lully (AKA Manno). Nita completed her high school and seamstress education in Port-au-Prince. In November of 1993, Nita married her beloved husband Felix Jean-Mary. She immigrated to the United States in February 1995. She and her husband bore their daughter Ferica Jean-Mary Morency that same year, & then, six years later, their son Fred Jean-Mary. Nita learned English and became a certified nursing assistant. In January 2019, Nita was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. While battling cancer over the course of the next four years, Nita kept her faith in God and followed her doctor’s advice for chemotherapy treatment, surgery and radiation. Surrounded by supportive family and friends, Nita remained mentally and physically strong throughout her life. Many say they would never guess that she was battling cancer because she was always happy and full of energy. Everyone who had the opportunity to meet and interact with Nita would agree that she was a very kind-hearted and highly caring person. She genuinely loved to take care of others in any way that she could. At home, she was a loving mother and a devoted wife. At work, everyone knew her as a generous and amicable worker. A God-fearing woman, Nita converted from the 7th Day Adventist doctrine when she received water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ at Eagles Temple in March 2019 based on Acts 2:38. On May 22, 2023, at the age of 63, God decided to call Nita abruptly and peacefully into His heavenly home. Although this was not how we expected her journey to end, we remain grateful that our Lord Jesus Christ called her to rest without further suffering. Her passing has created a void in the lives of many family members and friends. Nita has left behind her husband Felix Jean-Mary; children: Ferica and Fred Jean-Mary; siblings in Haiti: Cecile Livette Jean, Louicilia Meuze and Wilson Alexandre; adopted mother Marie Lucienne Lamour; adopted sisters: Rearden-Rose Lamour and Lukette Nerlyne France Lamour; brothers and sisters-in law: Mariannie Louisias, Niclasse Jean-Mary and wife Mathnise Jean-Mary, Marie Rose Jean-Mary Cherelus, Bernard Jean-Mary and wife Manola Jean-Mary; many nephews and nieces, as well as other friends, family members and acquaintances, including her precious brothers and sisters from Eagles Temple. Nita would say like Apostle Paul, “I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing” (2 Ti 4:7-8).
