Mark John Pitre, 74, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his wife, four 
sons and wives, and two of his grandchildren on Thursday, July 1, 2010, at 
Terrebonne General Medical Center after a brief illness.

Beloved husband of 51 years to Leafy Robichaux Pitre, four sons and their 
families, Darren and Harriet Adams Pitre, Jamie and Menta Landry Pitre, Corey 
and Armida Digiambattista Pitre, and Marc and Pam Duplantis Pitre; loving 
grandfather to Ryan, Leslie (Doucet), Ashtyn, Taylor, Christopher, Jude and 
Matthew Pitre; and two great-grandsons, Luke and Jake Pitre, all who lovingly 
referred to him as "Pa."

In addition to numerous nieces and nephews who simply called him "Uncle Pete," 
he is further survived by his two brothers and two sisters, Eddie and Edward 
'Wood' Pitre, Hazel Pitre Redmond and Edith Pitre Pitre.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mark Edward Pitre and Judith Lefort 
Pitre; and one brother, Clarence "Sue" Pitre.

He was a lifelong resident of Cut Off where he worked as a trusted banker for 
nearly 40 years. He served as chairman of Lafourche Parish Fire District No. 3 
and president of the Cut Off Volunteer Fire Department for many years. He also 
served on many other local civic boards and committees, always lending a hand 
when needed. He enjoyed his retirement to the fullest by fishing, vacationing 
and spending quality time with his friends and family.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian burial at 11 
a.m. Saturday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with burial to follow. Visitation 
will be from 9 a.m. to funeral time Saturday at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to support research for Methyl 
Malonic Acidemia (MMA) via website www.oaanews.org. MMA Research.

Samart-Mothe Funeral Home of Cut Off is in charge of arrangements.
