It was during this time she was Co-Director of Special Olympics and served as a volunteer for Special Olympics for over 40 years. Her love of gardening and landscaping led her to join the Abbeville Garden Club, where she presently served as club president. Also, proud of her Cajun French heritage, Marietta was not only a member of the Confrerie’ de Omelette, she rose to the rank of Chevalier. She enjoyed the game of tennis and the camaraderie of the tennis team.
