"Mom was born in the small community of Coulee Croche, in rural St. Landry Parish on June 6, 1933. Her family moved to the community of Higginbotham, where she grew up and met Dad. They moved to a farm in the community of Mire, where together they worked side by side farming the land for the Lyons family. They later moved to the town of Duson, where she became a full time homemaker.
From this marriage they had two daughters, Debbie and Annette, to whom she dedicated the remainder of her life teaching us Christian values, the importance of love and dedication to family. She was happiest surrounded by family and friends at her kitchen table, serving coffee and conversation."
