She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dalton "Slim" Landry; her daughter, Lois Marie Landry; her sisters, Adele Broussard, Anita Bernard, Eula Vincent, Yvonne Richard and Irene Dupont; her brothers, Camille Dupont, Emile Dupont and Clovis Dupont. "Grandma", who drove well into her mid-nineties, fiercely valued her family, her independence and her faith. She was a beautiful, kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who was the perfect combination of grace, strength and generosity. An incredible cook, she loved nothing more than being in the kitchen for hours preparing one of her family Sunday dinners. Her greatest joy came from taking care of and providing for her beloved family. She loved to go fishing and crabbing, and enjoyed gardening; delighting in her camellias every fall. She had a spark, a love of life and a sense of duty and hard work that defined her and served as an amazing example to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Pallbearers will be Scott Trahan, Christopher Trahan, Matthew Trahan, Kevin Serrin, Joey Broussard and Neil Broussard. A heartfelt appreciation is extended by the Landry family to staff of Nursing Specialties Incorporated for their compassionate care.
