On June 23, 2018, Rosemary Judice Martin, 81, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home and in the care of her family. Rosemary was born in Lafayette on February 19, 1937 and remained a lifelong resident of Acadiana. After graduating from Mount Carmel High School and The Southwest Louisiana Institute, Rosemary served as a teacher at several local schools, including L. Leo Judice Elementary and Westside Elementary, all while raising five young children.
In 1972, she co-founded and operated J & R Educational Supplies with her husband, Jean, where she faithfully served customers throughout the region for more than 30 years. During this time, Rosemary developed a special bond with the teachers, parents, and students who frequented her store. By utilizing a combination of classroom experience, keen customer service skills, and boundless energy and creativity, she built a business that would eventually be passed down to the next generation of Martins, thus fulfilling her legacy.
In addition to enjoying her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, Rosemary and Jean were fond of dancing, including ballroom dancing, Cajun dancing, and clogging, and belonged to several dance clubs in the area. In their retirement, they also began to travel and were fortunate to visit many of the country’s most popular destinations. Throughout her life, Rosemary was a dedicated parishioner of the Catholic faith.
Rosemary is survived by her husband of 59 years, Jean Raymond Martin; five children: Randall Martin of Lafayette, Anna Martin Priddy (David) of Woodstock, GA, Peter Martin (Ayda) of Lafayette, Jeanine Martin Cheramie (Gary) of Richmond, TX, and Marie Martin Darby (David) of Maurice, LA; ten grandchildren: Christine Martin Pierret, Ashley Priddy Walsh, Christopher Priddy, Nathan Martin, Rachel Cheramie, Julianne Cheramie, Elise Cheramie, Jade Cheramie, Tyler Darby and Nicole Darby; three great-grandchildren; and nieces, nephews and cousins.
