Marie A. Bichotte

The union is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved sister Marie Bichotte, a room attendant at the Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel until 2005 when she retired after 22 years of service. An immigrant from Haiti, and passionate Union member and delegate for over 30 years, Marie was remembered by friends and coworkers alike as the nicest person you could ever meet.

José Martinez, who has been working as a houseman at the Doubletree since 1994, remembered Marie as someone who was always smiling. “She worked the night shift and I was on the day shift, but we overlapped and just seeing her beaming face and gorgeous smile in the morning was all I needed to start my day,” he said. “Ms. Bichotte was so friendly and so out-going, she got along with everyone.”
