She was born in Marksville, Louisiana on February 6, 1927, the daughter of the late, Florestine and Xavier L. Dupuy. She was a Catholic by faith, and a devoted wife and mother who made her family the center of her life. Having been raised in Louisiana it was natural that she would learn to cook the food of her heritage. It was this great tradition that her family thrived on. She loved Roses and prided herself on growing them when she was able. Her family adored her and will miss her greatly.

She is survived by one daughter, Elaine Rogers (Arthur) of Port Saint Joe, FL.; one son, Leonard Gaspard (Clara) of Ephesus, GA.; two sisters, Audrey Walker of Marksville, LA., and Carol Mayeaux of Marksville, LA.; three grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren; and twenty-one great-great-grandchildren.
