She retired from Terrebonne parish after 26 years of service. "Tootsie" was a strong inquisitive independent woman. She was the pillar of our family. Always there to offer wise advice, answer family history questions and support in general.

She enjoyed reading, gardening, her cats, and Lawrence Welk. The world was a better place with our Toots in it. She will be missed!

There will be a private graveside service, due to Covid-19.
