The Marie Louise Cancer Foundation was founded in 2006 in loving memory of Marie Kettly Seide's mother, Mrs. Marie Louise Cenatus, who died in 2005 after a long and painful bout with cancer.
Mrs. Cenatus was born in the City of Dumay, Haiti on January 1, 1939 and had three children. She enjoyed the music of Julio Iglesias and Michael Jackson. She was a huge fan of the television program Wheel of Fortune which she watched religiously.
