Obituary for Helene Laure Lucien

In Loving Memory of Helene Laure Lucien

Affectionately known as “Manmie”

Sunrise: July 5, 1936

Sunset: May 31, 2025

Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

With heartfelt sorrow and enduring love, we announce the passing of our beloved matriarch, Helene Laure Lucien, affectionately known to all as “Manmie,” who departed this life on May 31, 2025, at the age of 88.

Helene Laure Lucien was born on July 5, 1936, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to the late Joseph Renaud and Eugenia Bellony. She lived a life of quiet strength, deep faith, and unwavering devotion to her family. She was a woman of grace and resilience who nurtured those around her with warmth, wisdom, and a steady spirit. Her home was a place of peace, her heart always open, and her love unconditional.

Manmie was preceded in death by her loving husband Dervil Lucien, and their cherished children: Jean Jules Lucien, Lucille Lucien, Yolene Lucien, Jean Claude Lucien, Merlek Lucien, and Yola Lucien. Though we mourn her absence, we find comfort in knowing she is joyfully reunited with them.

She is survived by her loving children:

Mireille Lucien, Ruth Lucien Dubois, Vanyola Lucien, Marie José Lucien, Dervil Lucien Jr., Natacha Thomas, Helene Laure Miss, and Malaika Lucien

Her siblings:

Jeanine Renaud Murat, Carlo Renaud and Edouard Desvarieux.

Her legacy continues through her grandchildren:

Robert Dubois, Rudolph Dubois, Bruce Dubois, Analyssa Lucien, Maximilian Miss, Nahalia Thomas, Laura-Andrea Thomas, Giovani Joseph, Vanessa Jean, Mario Jean, Patrice Lucien, Joanne Lucien, Patricia Jean Baptiste, Clara Lucien, Valery Lucien, Mona Lisa Lucien, Vladimir Lucien, Claude Ronald Lucien, Jimitry Lucien, and Felix Jr Vancol

And through her great-grandchildren:

Noah Lucien, Malachi Jean Baptiste, Michaela Jean Baptiste, Mayaleah Jean Baptiste, Moriah Jean Baptiste, Nyla Lucien, Luca Lucien, Kelis Richardson, Jasmine Richardson, Lisabelle Mathew, Sophia Mathew, Eliza Mathew, and Ryan Mathew

Helene Laure, our Manmie, was the heart of our family. Her presence brought comfort, her words carried wisdom, and her faith set an example we will carry forward for generations. Her life was a living testimony of love, service, and strength. Though she has gone to rest, her spirit lives on in each of us.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the First Haitian Baptist Church of Boston to honor the legacy of a life so beautifully lived.

Well done, good and faithful servant

    Yves Renaud

    Last time Manmie Laure called me (mid May) we laughed, we joke, we revised past memories and then suddenly she said « Yves pitit chéri m, pa tann Mwen ale san m pa wè w non ; otherwise don't let me go heaven before visiting me; It was a goodbye in premonition .-: days later, her sister Jeanine Renaud Murat informed me about the passing of our beloved Helene Laure. Manmie Laure est la quintessence de l'amour, de l'affection, de l'abnégation, de la dévotion, de l'esprit de famille ; Les Anges et les chérubins l'accueillent déjà au ciel : heartfelt condolences to my cousins Sympathies à ses frères et sœur Jeanine, Carlo et Ed

    "The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want". May God restore her soul and may His goodness and mercy cover her forever. What a beautiful, loving and nurturing woman-we will miss our beloved aunt. Our deepest condolences and prayers to all who loved Manmie Laure. May God comfort and console those mourning their beloved sister mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. May the knowledge that the power of love is stronger than death bring you solace. In love and sympathy, Anafidelia and Anabela Tavares

    My mother was a phenomenal woman — truly one of a kind. She was my heart, my strength, and my safe place. There is no love on earth like a mother's love, except the love of God Himself. The Lord has called my Manmie home, and while my heart aches, I will forever cherish the memories we shared. I will never forget her. Fly high, my angel. ❤️ With love always. Love your daughter - Malaika
