She was preceded in death by her husband Acy Marchand; daughters, Linda Marchand Slater and Nancy Ann Marchand; parents, Augusto Carchidio Cherubinni & Clemencia Diaz de Carchidio; sisters, Delia Carchidio & Braulia Carchidio. Surviving children are Ana Marchand Saucier, Sylvia Marchand Ponthier, Wayne Marchand, Christina Marchand, John Marchand, Sr., Katherine Marchand Wascom, and Arthur Marchand; 22 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Checira Carchidio Diaz, Miguel Angel Carchidio Diaz, Ajides Carchidio Diaz, & Mariana Carchidio Diaz.
