Ninety-eight years young, Eldise held many titles in her lifetime, but most importantly those of a wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker.
Among the first group of oilfield wives to settle in Lafourche Parish, she also belonged to a generation who transitioned from speaking French to English.
She loved traveling, yard work, gardening and tending to her cotton plants.
Our family has been blessed to have her wisdom and kindness these many years. She will be dearly missed by all.
