LURCY MARCEAUX

LURCY MARCEAUX
Lurcy Marceaux passed away on Thursday, July 16, 2026. He was a friend to all, a true friend indeed.
Lurcy was construction and property manager for Southern Mutual Help Association, Inc. in New Iberia for almost half a century. Through his untiring dedication to SMHA’s clients, he assisted in the construction of over 260 new and rehabilitated units and helped rural communities combat poverty through SMHA’s credit and debt counseling, financial literacy training, home-ownership counseling and skills transfer training.
He was well known and well loved. Lurcy was a quiet, gentle man, and if he needed something, all he had to do was ask and it was done.
He was a sweet man with one of the strongest Cajun accents and loved to tell Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes. And he was so good at it. He told them well and brought many moments of laughter.
When someone used to ask where he was from, he would tease and say from the islands…Cow Island.
There is a large emptiness in our office and the hearts of many that cannot be filled.
Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at Vincent Funeral Home in Abbeville.
He will be laid to rest at St. Paul Cemetery. Military honors will be conducted at the cemetery by the Acadiana Honor Guard.
