Beranger Theriot

St. Martinville - A memorial graveside service will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 5, 2010, at the Methodist Cemetery on Resweber Highway in St. Martinville, for Beranger Daspit Theriot, 76, who passed away on Friday, October 1, 2010 at Iberia Medical Center. Msgr. J. Douglas Courville will conduct the service. Mrs. Theriot was a longtime parishioner of St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church in St. Martinville. She was blessed with a God-given gift of a beautiful voice, singing and praising the Lord in her church parish for 50 years, and shared her vocal skills as a member of the Acadian Memorial French Choir, as well. Her love for children brought her tremendous much joy in her life, so much so, that she continued her teaching skills as a volunteer Kindergarten teacher for several years after her retirement. Mrs. Theriot was an artistic florist, whose floral arrangement designs were admired by many throughout the community. She was a member of the Retired School Teachers Association, St. Martinville Garden Club, Beta Rho Sorority, and was bestowed the honor of serving as Queen Mother of the St. Martinville Rotary Club Mardi Gras Ball. Survivors include her husband, James Andrew Theriot of St. Martinville; three sons, Keith Theriot of Orlando, FL, Andrew Theriot and wife, Cheria, of St. Martinville, and Domannic Theriot and wife, Brittany, of Breaux Bridge; three daughters, Pamala Theriot of New Iberia, Leslie Castille and husband, Richard, of Atlanta, GA, and Jessica DuBroc and husband, Davy, of Youngsville; three brothers, Frederic Daspit and wife, Jeanine, of Lafayette, Willard Daspit and wife, Issabelle, and Raymond Daspit and wife, Dorothy, all of St. Martinville; and seven grandchildren, Tiffany Toucheque, Matthew Rubenstein, Hall Castille, Lindsey Castille, Brock Theriot, Halen Theriot, and Ahna DuBroc. She was preceded in death by her parents, Andrew and Luzema Segura Daspit; a brother, Robert Daspit; and her sister, Hattie Anne Daspit.
