Marie-Monique Amisial

Marie-Monique Amisial, known to all as “Madame Deme”, passed away peacefully, at home in Dover, Delaware, surrounded by her dear family and loved ones on Friday, May 7th 2021, at the age of 77. Marie was born on Saturday, September 18th, 1943, in Gonaives, Haiti, to her late parents, Derice Charleron and Maricile Pierre. Together, with her late husband Francoeur (Deme) Amisial, she raised six children, whom she dedicated her life and hard work to provide for as an open-market merchant in Haiti. In early 1980, Marie and her husband decided it was best to have our father immigrate to the United States to look for better life opportunities, while the rest of the family remained in Haiti. After a long immigration process, in 1994, Marie, along with three siblings, reunited and settled in a small house in Federalsburg, Maryland, while everyone else remained in the homeland. Marie later became a widow in mid-1997, but marched on to become the bedrock of the family. She worked as a production worker at Allen Foods & Vlasic and loved to attend church weekly, on Sundays. Although she went through her share of trials and tribulations in her late life, she truly treasured spending time with family, especially her 18 grandchildren, whom she often looked after. Marie is survived by her six children and their spouses: Francienne (Gerard), Johane (Fritz), Philippe (Silfira), Marie-Ange (Kenzy), Carline (Kerry), and Denis (Caroline) Amisial; 18 grandchildren: Kenny & Jemima Donat, Franky, Janny & Janica Dameus, Fabiola, Fadens, Fadley, Falisha & Farmar Amisial, Jayden & Janaya Dorce, Kaylin & Katiana Saint-Phard, Gavin & Nahla Amisial and Falhin and Fahima Amisial; brothers and sisters: Inoder , Teana (Maraine) Joseph, Benito, Roberto and Adeline Charleron; nieces & nephews: Eddy, Wilner, Volvy, Maekendy, Eric, Idonack (deceased), Bernard, Betty, Berline, Linda, Shelda, Enose, Kerby, Devid, Mirlande (Louloune), Hans-Peter (Kino), Chouby, Choumy, Fedensly, and Bechame Charleron (son of Adeline Charleron who just deceased in Haiti within hours of the passing of his aunt); many cousins, as well as a host of loving relatives.
