Every person lucky enough to have known “Maw Maw” was made better because of it, and even many who didn’t know her benefited from her love and goodness. She often said that, even though she never traveled much, there were little pieces of her scattered across the world, referring to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was right. And in this way, she made the world a better place, even for countless people who never met her. She was a role model of unconditional love. She will be missed dearly, but her life will be forever celebrated each time those who benefited from her love passes it on to another.
She is survived by her daughters, Diane Boudreaux and husband Harold, Sr. of New Iberia, and Leona Montfort and companion, A.J. Blanchard, of St. Martinville; son, Daniel Latiolais, Jr. and wife Antoinette of Loreauville; her grandchildren, Tina Montfort, William Montfort, Leah Montfort, Edwin Boudreaux (Erin), Chad Boudreaux (Danielle), Harold Boudreaux, Jr. (fiancée, Lindsey Bertrand), Holly Broussard (Beau), Micky Latiolais (Susan), and Laila Broussard (Marcus); and 19 great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Julian and Felicia Belaire LeBlanc; husband, Daniel Latiolais, Sr.; brothers, Donna Dieu LeBlanc, Aristille LeBlanc, Jeff LeBlanc, Joseph LeBlanc, Able LeBlanc, and Gabriel LeBlanc; and her sisters, Lucillia Blanchard, Lucille Prados, Julia Romero, Louise Daspit, Louisianaise LeBlanc, Idolie LeBlanc and Elvire LeBlanc.
Pallbearers will be Chad, Edwin, and Harold Boudreaux Jr., William Montfort, Micky Latiolais, and Daniel Latiolais Jr.
