She was a member of the Ladies Alter Society.
She enjoyed singing, gardening, praying her rosary, helping others. Her greatest pleasure was spending time with her family and friends. She was a touch stone in the lives of so very many, she was a gentle soul who listened without judgment and offered comfort and care and will be deeply missed by many. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a faithful friend.
The family would like to extend thanks to Dr. Thomas Chaisson and staff for their care of our mother. We also want to thank Thibodaux Healthcare Center and St. Catherine Hospice for the wonderful care and support they provided for our mother during the last months of her life. We are truly grateful.
