Thomas, Fritz Sylvestre, Carmelle S. Liautaud, and one by her father’s second marriage, Gladstone Sylvestre. She married the late Max Ménard in 1946; the union produced four children.

She was also the great-grandmother of Evan Gordon. She had a special connection with each one of them: Aïsha was her brow bar bestie and her Creole conversionist, Karim who, as a young boy, faked being sick at school so his grandma would pick him up and spend time with her, Alain with never-fail Sunday calls and French conversations, Jean-Paul the jokester and bear-hugger, Nathalie the little pepper that kept Titie on her toes with hip conversations and inquiries, Jonathan her reflective and attentive one.

Tante Titie was a beloved aunt to her many nieces and nephews who often visited or called, which made her days: Marie Denise Liautaud, Robert Liautaud and wife Gina, their daughters Yandie, Tania and Leila, Bianca Labossière, Roger Lefort, Mireille and Richard D’Meza, Natacha Thomas, Viviane Gousse, Françoise.
