She was a devout parishioner of St. Anne Catholic Church in Bourg. She was a woman of faith, devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and a true believer in the Resurrection of Life. All of her children were taught the importance of education, faith and hard work. She enjoyed praying the rosary, reading, gardening, and sewing. She died exactly the way she had lived her life, with honor and dignity. Her children will remember her for her graciousness, sacrifices and hard work. Thank you God for giving us the blessing of our dear mother, Gladys Guidry Pellegrin.
