Lena Hebert was born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana on November 5, 1920, the 7th child born to Adelma and Anita Badon Hebert. Lena married the love of her life, Clevans J. Usie, on July 15, 1939 and lived most of her adult life in Baton Rouge, LA. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. With a caring and giving heart, she always looked for the good in others and was full of gratitude for the many blessings in her life. "Taunt Lin" loved spending time with her family. She was a wonderful Cajun cook. While she often said, "It may not be good, but there's plenty.", it was always good and there was always plenty! She would immediately befriend strangers by greeting them with her endearing smile and saying "Mais, hello cher!" in her sweet Cajun accent.
She is survived by her sons, Kirby J. Usie and wife Thelma of Baton Rouge, and Ronald J. Usie and wife Debra of Zachary, LA; five grandchildren, Missy Guillory and husband Darren of Baton Rouge, Michelle Graham and husband Jerry of Prairieville, Joy Langlois and husband Chris of Geismar, Tyler Usie of Atlanta, GA, and Conner Usie of Baton Rouge; twelve great grandchildren, Blake Stafford and husband Justin, Brooke Burns and husband Grant, Ben Stafford, Alyssa Guillory, Ashley Guillory, Justin Green, Emily Green, Austin Graham, Olivia Graham, Brendan Langlois, Baylor Langlois, and Cole Langlois; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other dear relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Clevans J. Usie; mother, Anita Badon Hebert; father, Adelma Hebert; brothers, Robert, Walter, Dallas and Willis Hebert; and her sisters, Agnes H. Guidry and Lucille H. Huval.
