A native and lifelong area resident, Mrs. Armentor was born on December 29, 1933, to the late Michel and Anna Jackson Breaux.

Elsie was a woman of immense warmth and love. Her family meant the world to her, she dedicated her life to caring for them. As a devoted wife to her late husband and a nurturing mother to her children, she exemplified unconditional love and selflessness.

In her free time, Elsie had a few hobbies that brought her immense joy. She loved going to the casino, where she enjoyed the thrill of the games and the company of good friends. Playing cards, especially bouree, was another passion of hers. She also had an appreciation for French music and Cajun dancing, finding solace in the lively rhythms that echoed through her soul. When she just wanted to relax, you could often find Elsie watching TV game shows.

Elsie Breaux Armentor will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her. Her loving presence, kind heart, and nurturing spirit touched the lives of many. May she rest in peace and may her memory forever be a guiding light for her family and friends as they carry her legacy forward.
