Anna Trosclair "Trosy" Boutte, a native of Thibodaux and longtime resident of Lafayette, died peacefully at home with her daughters Sunday, Feb. 18, 2007.

Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and from 9 a.m. to funeral time Friday at Delhomme Funeral Home in Lafayette. Mass will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the funeral home, with burial in St. John Cemetery.

She is survived by three daughters, Pat Guidry and husband, Roland, of Destin, Fla., Linda Driesse and husband, Ed, of Lafayette and Elaine Roberts and husband, Hugh, of Austin, Texas; one daughter-in-law, Dr. Sharon Cleghorn Boutte of Plano, Texas; grandchildren, Michael Guidry of Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., Todd and Egla Guidry of Madrid, Spain, Eric Guidry of Boulder, Colo., Brian and Brooke Driesse of LaJolla, Calif., Craig Driesse of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Scott Driesse of Danbury, Conn., and Matthew Howard Boutte of Ft. Worth, Texas; great-granddaughters, Amber Driesse of Ft. Wayne, Khole Guidry of Madrid; her older sisters, Nora Shaw and Marie Gaudet; and her young brother, Louis Trosclair.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard G. Boutte; one son, Ken Boutte; one granddaughter, Tracy Boutte; her parents, Gracien Trosclair and Marie Clement Trosclair; one sister, Velma Lagarde; and one brother, William Trosclair
Sr.

After graduating as a registered nurse from Hotel Dieu School of Nursing in New Orleans, she married the love of her life, Howard G. Boutte on April 20, 1940. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 2005, just before Howard's death in June 2005. Together they raised four children who all went on to make them proud.

Moving to Lafayette in 1955, the Bouttes were well-known in the oil community and had many friends. Anna was a longtime member of the Lafayette Geological Society. She also was a parishioner of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.

One of her proudest accomplishments was being selected as the 1972 winner of the Advertiser "Best Cook in Acadiana Contest." Before her illness Anna and Howard were active members at the Lafayette General Wellness Centera and enjoyed their casino trips and visits to their children and relatives. She was an avid reader, reading two newspapers a day and she could tell you what was going on just about anywhere. People were amazed at how alert she was right up to the end. An ardent Texas-Aggie supporter, she loved her "Aggie Mom" title. More than the Aggies however, she loved her little Scottish terrier, McGraw, who passed away last Thanksgiving. She quietly touched many lives and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved this lady with the smile and the expressive eyes.

The family would like to thank her faithful and loyal friends, Loretta and Walter Glod, her favorite priest the Rev. Keith and Eucharistic minister Kirby Boudreaux for continuing to brighten her days with regular visits. Special thanks go to the staff of Complete Home Healthy and especially to Glenda Webster, LPN; Tyree Brown, LPN; Debbie Murray, LPN, and Ginnette Pommier, RN. Special thanks also go to Yulonda Brown, LPN and Karl Kuhne, her physical therapist. All these "special angels" enhanced her quality of life and their care, love and laughter these past two years. Thanks also go to Drs. Kenneth McCarron, Vernon Valention, Maximo Lamarche, Gary Guidry and Bradley Chastant and to Mr. Dale Boudreaux.

Memorial donations can be made to the Cathedral Maintenance Trust Fund at P.O. Drawer 5, Lafayette, LA 70502 or the American Heart Association.

Delhomme Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
