Henrietta was a caregiver and devout Catholic throughout her life. She was a homemaker, raising her daughters while caring for her parents and in-laws. She later took care of her husband, while volunteering at St. Agnes Nursing Home. She was a kind-hearted, giving woman who never thought twice about lending a hand or a prayer to someone in need. Henrietta was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and a dear friend to many who will be sadly missed by her family and friends. Henrietta also worked for many years at The Superette in Breaux Bridge. She was a lifelong parishioner of St. Bernard Church, a member of the Ladies' Altar Society, the Home Demonstration Club and cleaned St. Bernard Church for several years. Henrietta enjoyed gardening, working in her flower beds and cutting her grass - even into her 90s. She also enjoyed trips to the casino and playing Bingo. She is survived by her daughters, Peggy Johns and her husband David of Gretna and Sally Dugas and her husband David of Parks; three granddaughters, Leslie Perschall and her husband Trip of New Orleans, Heather Grant and her husband Scott of Gretna, and Jeanne Olivier and her husband Cy of Parks; five great grand children, Matthew Henry Perschall, Lucy Perschall, Emile Olivier, Grace Olivier and Rhys Grant; and one brother Pedro Angelle; a host of nieces and nephews, especially Fabian LeBlanc and Jan Roberts.
