A native of Gueydan and a resident of Abbeville, Marietta never met a stranger. Her zest for life and extremely positive attitude were always in abundance. She always placed everyone’s needs before her own and was always willing to help or take charge, when needed. Her love of travel was evident in her always having a bag packed, ready to go. A talented artist, she donated numerous items to raffle for charities or cherished gifts for family and friends. She was a true friend and will be missed by all.
Upon receiving her education degree, Marietta taught Special Education for numerous years, then completing her teaching career in a traditional classroom at the middle school level. It was during this time she was Co-Director of Special Olympics and served as a volunteer for Special Olympics for over 40 years.
Her love of gardening and landscaping led her to join the Abbeville Garden Club, where she presently served as club president. Also, proud of her Cajun French heritage, Marietta was not only a member of the Confrerie’ de Omelette, she rose to the rank of Chevalier. She enjoyed the game of tennis and the camaraderie of the tennis team.
Marietta is survived by her loving daughter, Meggan Mae Clark St. Amant (Sean); brother, Dennis Trahan; brother, Paul Trahan (Charlene); brother, Leonard Trahan (Marcia); sister, Sherry Guidry (David); and numerous nieces and nephews.
