Mary Leona Solet Creppel was born on November 16, 1947, and passed away on October 12, 2026. She was a native and resident of Grand Caillou.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Carlton Creppel; her six children, Carl Creppel (Rebecca), Laura Fazzio (Dale), Carey Dean, Christine Creppel, Cheri Dupre (Ryan), and Crystal Billiot (Randall); 16 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Enest Solet and Ophelia Wilson Solet; all of her siblings; her grandson, Anthony Verdin; and her son-in-law, Glynn Dean.

Mary was a woman of faith with a feisty spirit and a loving heart. She loved cooking for her children and grandchildren, bringing her family together around meals made with love. She loved going to the casino with her husband, children, and grandchildren, cherishing the laughter, excitement, and time they shared together. She never met a stranger and opened her home to everyone. Her love, strength, and welcoming spirit will forever live in the hearts of those who knew her.
