Wade Angelle, 85, a native of Cecelia and resident of Larose, died Monday, April 30, 2012, after a long battle with lung cancer.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to funeral time Thursday at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Larose. Mass will be held at noon Thursday at the church, with burial in the church cemetery.
He is survived by his son, Glenn M. Angelle and wife, Merry Lee Griffin Angelle; four grandchildren, Lisa A. Compeaux, Kelsie A. Levron, Chad Vega and David Vega; and nine great-grandchildren, Madison, Max, Hayden, Tucker, Jacob, Jonathan, Zachary, Josh and Eric.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Arille and Marie Naquin Angelle; his wife, Mary Lou Artigue Angelle; daughter, Dianne Marie Angelle Vega; brothers, Odubert Angelle, Freddie Angelle, and his twin Wesley Angelle; and sister, Hazel Angelle Guidry.
Mr. Wade was an avid fisherman and a lover of wood work projects. He has made rosaries, carvings of all kinds, toys, rocking chairs, baby cradles, you name it, he'd make it for you. After his wife's passing, he developed the art of cooking and became very fond of it and was nicknamed "The Gumbo King" by his family. Our loss is truly Heaven's gain!
Samart-Mothe Funeral Home of Cut Off is in charge of arrangements.
