Mrs. Hulin was born on February 2, 1929 to Theogene and Edolie Berthelot Bertrand. She graduated from St. Martinville High School in 1947 as class Valedictorian. She was employed with Bordelon Chevrolet 60 years ago, where she met the love of her life, Mr. Hubert (Mr. Bee). Lorena later went to work with her husband as the bookkeeper at Hubert Hulin Lumber Yard. Mr. Hubert told Lorena, if you're going to be a bookkeeper, you're going to be my bookkeeper, and they lovingly worked alongside each other for many years to follow. Lorena was a devout Catholic and parishioner of St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church, where she was very active with the Catholic Daughters of America and was responsible for taking care of the Milk Fund. She loved to eat out at restaurants, watch t.v., attend all of her C.D.A. meetings and pray the Rosary. Lorena enjoyed going on vacations with her family - she lived for her family and was known to give a kiss to all those she loved. The times she treasured most, were those spent with her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her. Survivors include her loving husband of 57 years, Hubert Joseph Hulin, Sr., of St. Martinville; her children, Murphy A.
