Margie Lamperez Breaux, 95, our Mother who once added color to the pale skies, joined our almighty Father on Saturday, May 11, 2019, at 2:25 p.m., with her two daughters at her side after a long, yet courageous battle with cancer at Southwind Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Crowley.
We know everyone believed her when she said, “she was 19 ½ years old” so here it is. She was born on Sept. 11, 1923, in Crowley. She was married to our father, Rodney for 47 years and they fished, hunted, camped, cursed and traveled the world over together.
Fr. Mikel Polson, pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, officiated for the Mass of Christian Burial at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church with graveside following in Woodlawn Cemetery.
Mrs. Breaux is survived by two daughters, Penny F. Lormand and husband Rufus of Lafayette, Phyllis B. LeJeune and husband Rod of Crowley; five grandchildren, Christopher D. Lormand, William “Billy” Lormand, Douglas K. Lormand, Edith L. Dupuy and Emily L. Deer; 12 great-grandchildren, Ross and Amy Lormand, Corey and Tori Lormand, Donna and Taylor Lormand, Allison, Kelly and Rachel Dupuy, William, Robert and Abigail Deer; and one great-great-grandchild, Collin Koch.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Rodney J. Breaux; her parents, Adonise and Birdie Angelle Lamperez; one sister, Rose Lapointe; one brother, Julius “Papa Cairo” Lamperez.
