Marie-Louise (Loulette) Jordi died peacefully on Oct. 16 at The Greens of Greenwich in Greenwich, Conn. She was 93 years old.

Loulette was born on Sept. 29, 1931 in Sion, Switzerland to Louis DalPont and Germaine Maret DalPont. She grew up in Martigny where she spent many summers tending her grandparent’s goats in the alpine village of Bruson.

At a young age, she discovered her wanderlust and traveled to Hempstead, Long Island where she worked as an au pair. She discovered New York City and the beauty of the Long Island Sound and Connecticut.

Upon her return to Switzerland, she joined Air France and found her true calling in the travel business. She worked in Zurich where she met her future husband, Edouard Jordi, who was working in Dusseldorf, Germany. They were wed in November of 1960 in Martigny, Switzerland and celebrated at the iconic Chateau de la Batiaz. They soon moved to the United States where they welcomed their children Philippe and Catherine.

Loulette returned to the travel business working for Revere Travel in Princeton N.J. and then with American Express Travel. Her vast knowledge of Europe, fluency in five languages and love of travel brought her scores of clients who eagerly sought her advice and recommendations. Her passion for adventure, discovery and novelty was appreciated by all who worked with her. Her career in travel spanned over 30 years.

Travel was one of her great passions in life that allowed her to experience many diverse and beautiful cultures across the world. Her love for her Swiss family often brought her and her family back to visit her parents and siblings and their families. Many summers were spent at her family’s rustic chalet in the alps above her hometown of Martigny.

Loulette’s greatest source of pride were her two children and their families. After Philippe moved to Martha’s Vineyard, she would come to the Island with Catherine and her family to spend the summers on the Vineyard, the start of a long family tradition.

Preceded in death by her husband, Edouard and her sister, Aurelie Berger; Loulette is survived by her children, Philippe Jordi (Randi Baird) of West Tisbury, MA and Catherine Marcus (Drew) of Greenwich, CT; grandchildren Alexander Marcus (Lara), Olivia Parnon (Eric), Julia Marcus, Elie Jordi and Miles Jordi; and her brother Pierre DalPont.

A private memorial service will be held in Switzerland next year.
