Mary-Therese Jarreau Obituary

Mary-Therese Nicholson Jarreau, 42, went to Heaven after a long struggle with ovarian cancer on Sunday, March 23, 2014 at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. She was born on October 11, 1971 in Orange, CA. In 1991, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Samantha, and met the love of her life, Jason Jarreau. She and Jason married in May of 1994, and in July of 1995 they welcomed a gorgeous baby girl, Darian, into the world. Mary-Therese, known to many as "mom," worked for Walker Freshman High school, and was particularly known for her loving heart and warm embrace. She has been an inspiration to so many during her nearly seven year battle against ovarian cancer. Mary-Therese Jarreau's strength and beauty remained their fullest throughout life's journey and she never stopped believing. Mary is survived by her husband Jason, two daughters, Samantha-Kyle and Darian-Alexa, parents Carryl Trapp King, George and Joann Becker, in-laws Pressie and Charles Jarreau, siblings Arthur Nicholson, Kristen Fuselier, Misty Hensley, Jerry Fisher, Robert Fisher, Tiffiny Bernal, and Rosey Nicholson. Mary-Therese Jarreau will forever be in the hearts and memories of the countless friends, family, and people that she met.

Memories and Condolences
for Mary-Therese Jarreau

Not sure what to say?





I am saddened to hear about Mary-Therese's passing. Like others here, I knew her only through Words with Friends. We had played regularly, every week, for many years. I think she last told me we had been playing for 5 years. My dad's family was from Louisiana and we had that connection. I live in Texas. I got to know her and her struggles with cancer and she kept me updated. My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly in February and Mary a month later. I wish I had been able to know her better, but I cherish the fun we had playing and updating each other online about our lives. She will be missed terribly. My heart goes out to her husband and children and the rest of her family and friends.

Darian,

I am very sorry to hear about your wonderful mom. She was such an inspiration to me with her strength and courage. Now she is pain-free in heaven with God. May God bless you and your family during this time of sorrow.

Love,

Mrs Mary we love you so much and can't wait to see your beautiful face again in heaven one day. I will never forget the support you gave me when marrying my husband. Because like you, I found my soul mate and started my life fast and young. With all my heart...

I feel honored and very lucky to have met Mary many years ago. She was very special and I am proud to call her a friend. It is hard to find a good friend and she definitely was a great one. My daughter considered Mary her "second mom". She was an amazing women, sweet, honest, strong and always had a beautiful smile on her face. My condolences to Jason, Sam & Darian for their loss. I love you Mary and I will miss you dearly.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you Jason, Samantha and Darian. I was deeply, deeply saddened at the passing of Mary Therese. I never met her in person, but I feel that she was one of my closest friends, almost part of the family. For the past 2 years, I have been one of her gaming partners and I feel like I know you through her messages, photos and texted newsletters. We had a common Missouri connection and I know she missed being here. She seemed joyed when I sent her pictures of the snow here this winter. She truly loved life and her family and was a fighter to the very end. I know you will miss her very much as will I and all who knew her. You have the sweetest angel in heaven looking over you.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile and embrace our silent dreams leaving footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same."

We have such wonderful memories of the short time we knew Mary, which we will treasure forever.

My deepest sympathy. I met your Mom while having chemo for the same cancer and she was my favorite "buddy". She was so warm and sweet and loving. I never forgot her and her love for her family, her wonderful humor and long talks while in that room in Woman's. She was full of courage and good sense. I will remember her always.
