Mrs. Gertrude enjoyed quilting, reading, and puzzles; but her most favorite time for her was when she was able to spend her time with her family, children, and grandchildren. She had a love of people and was a great listener. She was a wonderfully great cook and cooking was an important part of her time spent with family.

The family would like to thank Dr. Fadi Abou-Issa, Christy Hebert FNP, Dr. Alain Chestnut, Dr. Richard Abben and CIS, STAT Home Health Care, Terrebonne General Medical Center and Chauvin Funeral Home for their tender care and concern they have given to our mother and our family.

Gertrude will forever be remembered and loved and never ever forgotten.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the DeHart family.
