Interment followed in Greenwood Memorial Park. Marie Elaine Dumas, 87, of Alexandria, passed away on Monday May 25, 2020 at Rapides Regional Medical Center. She is preceded in death by her parents Anthony and Mildred Gentile; and one brother, Arthur Gentile, Sr. One of Marie’s favorite things to do was travel. She especially liked traveling to the Caribbean and to Italy. We were lucky enough to visit many islands over the years and finally got a chance to take an extended trip to Tuscany where we rented a villa at a winery. With our rental car we were able to travel 1500 miles and visit most of the sites in central and northern Italy. Not having children, she was devoted to her nieces and nephews and loved spending time with great-great niece Emily. She will miss them dearly. Marie was also an avid New York (NJ) Giants football fan and NY Mets baseball fan. Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 39 years, Roland E Dumas of Alexandria; her niece, Patty Connell of Hanover, NJ; her nephew, Arthur Gentile of Clifton, NJ; great niece, Laura Connell of Parsipppany, NJ; great nephew, Stephen Connell and his wife Joanna of Simpsonville, SC; and the apple of Marie’s eye, her great-great niece, Emily.
