Guilbeau, Sr. of Breaux Bridge; two daughters, Melissa Arceneaux and Michelle Guilbeau, both of Breaux Bridge; her son, Jimmie P. Guilbeau, Jr. of Norco; two brothers, Tony Theriot and his wife, Joyce, and Roy Theriot and his wife, Hazel, all of Breaux Bridge; two sisters, Mary Duplantis and her husband, Carroll, of New Iberia, and Ethel Broussard and her husband, Greg, of Breaux Bridge; 8 grandchildren, Alexis Patin Magee, Courtney Osborn Hebert, Hunter Osborn, Rayna Guilbeau, Lacy Patin, Logan Osborn, Claudia Guilbeau, and Hayden Guilbeau; and one great grandchild, Brentley Magee.
