Susan was a very strong lady and matriarch of her family. She cared and raised her seven daughters single-handedly and taught them to be strong and independent women like she was.  She could be counted on for advice and help for any reason.  She was a faithful servant of God and kept her family and friends in her prayers.  She loved to spend time with her family, playing bingo and caring for others. She loved her daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren dearly.   Susan never missed an opportunity to wish her family and friends “Happy Birthday” by calling and singing to them.

She will be dearly missed; never forgotten and always loved by all who she touched throughout her life.

Chauvin Funeral Home and Crematory are honored to serve the family of Susan Duplantis.
