Wife to Eddie Manuel, Mother to Mary Hazel, Francis (Fran) Harold (Tee-Tee) and Laura Mae (Tou-Girl).She is buried next to her 1st child-Mary Hazel in the Catholic Section of the old Mamou St. Ann's Cemetery, and above her half brother Leo Paul Blanchard. Her mother remarried Enyas Blanchard and moved to China Texas after her father Sidnea Eddy O'Pry was shot and killed after leaving a "House Party" with his brother, around Church Point La.
She married Eddie Manuel and lived her entire life as a farmer's wife. I still hear her saying to him - "La Mad Eddie" Never mind what that means..She loved to sing at home. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was affectionately known as "Tot" by her family and by "La Tot" by her friends - a phrase that translates to English as "The Tot" or the small one. She had 3 rocking chairs - two made of cane - and one that was her favorite. If you were small enough, she would usually rock you on her lap. She loved getting her hair fixed at Miss Grace's Beauty Shop.
Old Dr Frank Savoy (Of Mamou) was her doctor and she believed in anything he said. At his death - Dr Junior took over, and in her eyes - Dr Junior was a God. She fell at home was hospitalized in the Mamou La Hospital - Now known as the Savoy Medical Center. Dr Junior Savoy diagnosed her with a broken hip and treated her for that. After a very lengthy hospital stay and when she just did not get any better, her daughter, Laura, transferred her to St Patrick's Hospital in Lake Charles, where she was diagnosed with severe intestinal blockage problems. After surgery she lived only about 4 weeks.
She instructed her husband and family not to sue Dr Junior for mis-diagnosing her condition - as she really loved that doctor. She died at her daughter's home in Lake Charles La.
She had instructed the funeral home to place her head lower in her casket so the old women wouldn't look at her and talk about her from the entrance door. That way they had to come all the way up to her to talk about her. Her daughter, Laura Mae, did the same thing. Her body rests in peace and her soul is in the Paradise she prayed for.
