Deveri Peters

Visitation will be Saturday, October 2, 2021, from 8:00 A.M. until the commencement of the celebration at Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church.

Deveri will be interred at Irish Bend Cemetery in Franklin, Louisiana.

Deveri Arielle Peters was born on January 18, 1993 in Lafayette, Louisiana to Bradford Dean Peters and Monique Johnell T. Maze-Barabin (formally Monique J. Peters). She was baptized as a child at St. Joseph Baptist Church, where she was a member of the Red Circle Children's Choir and the SJBC Praise Dance Team. Later, Deveri became a member of the Lighthouse Missionary Baptist church where she was also a member of the praise dance ministry and youth choir.

Deveri is a 2011 graduate of Franklin Sr. High School and later attended Collin College in McKinney, TX. In 2013, Deveri and her high school sweetheart, Scott Jerel Marshall, gave birth to the apple of their eyes, Khiyli' Aurielle Marshall. Deveri was formerly employed at Patterson Police Department as a communications officer and was currently employed at St. Mary Parish School Board as the instructor/choreographer for the Golden Dolls of Franklin Sr. High School, where she served as captain during high school.

Deveri will be remembered for her love of life, her child and family, and her very blunt and outspoken personality. She was the life of the party wherever she went. Deveri lived her life unapologetically!
