Mary Firmin

With sadness and love, the family of Mary Anna Firmin announces her passing on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at the age of 40. Mary Anna Firmin was born on May 16, 1982, the daughter of Robin Rita Duplantis and Ronald James Firmin, and was a resident of Metairie, La. Mary was beautiful, intelligent, and an outgoing, loving, and caring person, always willing to help others.
