Marie Marlene Gregoire-Rosenthal

Marie Marlene Gregoire Rosenthal, 59, of Wellington, passed away due to stage Ⅳ cancer on Friday, November 23, 2018 at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach. Born in Baudin, Haiti to Jean Narcisse and Marie Antoinette (Moise) Duclas, she immigrated to New York City in 1981. Marie was a woman loyal to her family, who believed in hard work and integrity. To support her family, she worked hard for many years in Brooklyn, New York. For over 20 years she raised her two daughters in Queens, New York. Although she was a proud American citizen, she always remembered the island where she and her family originated from. She admired where she was originally from so much so that she would often take vacations to the island. She also stayed aware of what was going on in her place of origin and did her best to enhance the quality of life there for various people in need. Throughout her life she supported orphaned children on the island by providing them a forever home at her residence in Haiti or with families in the United States. She assisted countless family members by aiding in the immigration process for them to the United States. Marie was a very religious woman who would always pray and go to her Catholic church. Marie is survived by her daughters Alexandra Burch and Jessica Gregoire Lavin as well as her four grandchildren Tatiana Celestin Burch, Jonathan Burch, Anthony Burch, and Francois Xavier Lavin. She is also survived by her siblings Reynold Duclas, Louis Duclas, Marie Pierre, Joseph Fils Duclas, Marie Josee Duclas, and Joseph E. Duclas and family member Alexandre Camille Gregoire. Visitation will be from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a service at 7:00 PM, Palms West Funeral Home, 110 Business Parkway, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411, on Thursday, November 29. Funeral services for Marie will be held at St Therese De Lisieux, 11800 Lake Worth Rd, Wellington, FL 33449, at 9:15 AM on Friday, November 30 and she will be laid to rest beside Sidney Rosenthal at South Florida National Cemetery, 6501 State Road 7, Lake Worth, FL 33449 immediately after.
