Sherrie Bacilla Obituary

Sherrie Delahoussaye Bacilla

CHURCH POINT - A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, December 9, 2016 at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Church Point, LA for Mrs. Sherrie Rose Delahoussaye Bacilla, 78, who passed away at 6:12 PM Sunday, December 4 at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Nursing Home in Opelousas, LA. Msgr Jefferson J. Deblanc, Pastor of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, will be the Celebrant of the Mass and burial will take place in Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery on Hwy 35.

Sherrie, a resident of Opelousas, Louisiana was the daughter of the late Joel Berchman Delahoussaye and the former Ann Solange Delahoussaye Richard.

She is survived by one daughter, Leslie B. Breaux and husband Steven of Lafayette, LA; three sons, Phillip Bacilla, Jr. and wife Kerrie of Opelousas, Al Bacilla and wife Valerie of Milton, LA and Chris Bacilla and wife Rachel of Houston, TX; nine grandchildren, Annie and Alex Breaux, Abigail, Eli and Isabel Bacilla, Noah and Mia Bacilla, and Zack and Emma Bacilla and one brother-in-law, Harold Miller.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Phillip Ray Bacilla, Sr. and two sisters, Joy Bernard and Francine Miller. As a faithful Catholic and devoted wife and mother, she relied on God's graces as she and her husband lovingly raised their children. Sherrie believed especially in performing the corporal works of mercy and had a special devotion to those who suffered. She is fondly remembered for her gifts of patience and kindness, her love for children, and living a simple life, taking the greatest pleasure in cooking for and visiting with her children and their friends, as well as spending time with her mother, sisters, and cousins. She taught fourth grade at Church Point Elementary for 30 plus years and then briefly at Our Mother of Peace Elementary. Sherrie's greatest joy was being married and raising her children, and when they were older, she often said that she anxiously awaited grandchildren. Sadly, she suffered from Alzheimers and was never able to truly know her grandchildren. Her family now takes comfort in the fact that, through God's grace, she can fully be aware of who they are and what they are accomplishing. The family would like to thank the devoted lay and religious staff of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Nursing Home in Opelousas where Sherrie lived for the past few years. Their kind and loving care of Sherrie gave her family peace, knowing that she was in capable and caring hands as she lived out her remaining life. Additionally, the family thanks Acadia-St. Landry Nursing Home in Church Point for their excellent care and service for the years she was with them.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Guidry Funeral Home on Thursday, December 8, 2016 from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM and continue on Friday from 8:00 AM until the time of services. A rosary will be recited in the funeral home Thursday evening at 7:00 PM.

Personal condolences may be sent to the Bacilla family at www.guidryfuneralhome.com. Guidry Funeral Home, 219 N. Broadway St., Church Point, LA is in charge of final arrangements.

So sorry to hear of your mother passing. There are no words sufficient to describe the pain you are feeling. In the days ahead, may you find comfort in the God of loyal love and in the promise found at John 6:40.
