She loved traveling, dancing, fishing, and holiday gatherings with family. She was a devoted PBX Operator at Terrebonne General Hospital for 48 years where she was affectionately known by her co-workers as "The Voice". Though many of them had never met her, if they heard her voice in a room they knew she was "Operator Lou". She dearly loved her family and will be sadly missed but not forgotten by all who knew and loved her. "Breathe easy Mom, and rest in peace." The family wishes to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Richard Haydel, and Dr. Scott Haydel, whom Mrs. Lou loved like a son, for their care and concern during a very difficult time. Also, to the nurses and staff of the Critical Care Unit at TGMC for their compassionate care and the comfort they gave to us all. Special thanks to her Great Nephew, Gene Bergeron for always being there when we needed him.
