We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Marie Willig Nicolich — a founding member of the Louisiana Life Safety & Security Association (LLSSA) and one of the guiding forces behind our industry’s earliest days.
Marie served the LLSSA with distinction as President, Chairman of the Board, and Region 1 Vice President, playing a key leadership role when the original Life Safety and Property Protection law was created. Her dedication, strength, and passion for protecting lives and property set a foundation that continues to guide our association today.
Based in the New Orleans area, Marie and her husband built a successful security and fire alarm business serving the Greater New Orleans and Northshore communities. Her vision and advocacy helped shape Louisiana’s alarm and life safety industry into what it is today.
Marie’s legacy lives on in the laws she helped create, the professionals she mentored, and the safer communities we all enjoy because of her commitment.
May she rest in peace, and may we continue the important work she began.
