Sally Bergeron Padgett, known to all as “Honey,” died peacefully in the sun room of her home amongst her loved ones and the water color paintings she lovingly created.
The daughter of Charles H. Bergeron & Laurence Gilbert Bergeron, Sally was born on the twenty-first of August, 1936 in Napoleonville, Louisiana on Hardtimes Plantation in the heart of sugarcane country. Sally attended Assumption High School and went on to continue her education at Newcomb College in New Orleans where she studied fine arts and painting.
On the seventh of July, 1956, Sally was united in Holy Matrimony to Ernest Eugene Padgett Jr., MD in her home town of Napoleonville. In 1962, Sally and Gene moved to Opelousas, Louisiana where Gene practiced medicine and they together raised their four sons.
One of Sally’s greatest enjoyments was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Some of her happiest moments were surrounded by family on their yearly summer vacations to Florida.
Sally also had a true passion for art. She loved to paint, initially starting out with oils in her earlier years and later transitioning to water colors. She won many awards for her paintings and traveled to numerous workshops to improve her skills.
One of her favorite jaunts was her several trips to Bali in the South Pacific where she attended water color workshops. Her later works were heavily influenced by this enchanted area. Her paintings have decorated many restaurants and offices in the Acadiana area.
Survivors include her husband, Ernest Eugene Padgett, Jr., MD; four sons, Charles E. Padgett, MD and his wife Liz, Phil G. Padgett, MD and his wife Monica, David M. Padgett, and Ernest E. Padgett III and his wife Leah; twelve grandchildren, Sally Padgett Bourque and husband Kyle, Reneé Padgett Prevost and husband Blake, Stephen Padgett, MD and wife Katherine, Rebecca Padgett Fontenot and husband Greg, Discalced Carmelite Nun, Sister Marie Louise (Sarah Padgett), Charlie Padgett, Jr., Nicholas Padgett, Emily Padgett, Zachary Padgett, Anna Padgett, Jessep Padgett and Samuel Padgett; nine great grandchildren; and four sisters, Anne Crochet and husband Bobby, Charlotte "Dee Dee" McCary and husband Douglas, Ella Hulin and husband Jewitt and Mary "Boogie" Bergeron.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Laurence "Mere" Gilbert Bergeron and Charles H. Bergeron.
