Roy Tabor Obituary
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the visitation at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Montegut on Thursday, March 8; beginning at 9 a.m. until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
Roy is survived by his daughters, Patti Tabor, and Linda Couvillier and husband, Carl; granddaughters, Dena Couvillier Pitre, Gena Sternberger and husband, Dustin, Beth Couvillier and companion, Woody Prosperie, and Leann Couvillier; great-grandchildren, Emily, Seth, Brandon Pitre, Grace Sternberger, Kali Prosperie, and Kennedy Blanchard; and a new born on the way.
Roy was preceded in death by his wife, Ida Mae Fields Tabor; parents, Wilson and Vanny Tabor; brother, Floyd Tabor Sr.; and great-grandchildren, Christian and Tristian Sternberger.
Roy was a great provider to his family. He worked for S. Coast Sugar Mill Company for many years and then worked for Main Iron Works. He then retired from the School Board after 12 years of service. Twenty years ago, Roy loved tending to his garden and blessed many of his friends and family with vegetables. Roy's faith was very strong; he was a Eucharistic minister, usher and a member of the Holy Name Society. He was also a member of the American Legion in Montegut. Roy was a Korean veteran and proudly served our country in the U.S. Marine Corps.

I remember Mr. Tabor when he was a custodian at South Terrebonne while I was a teacher/librarian there. He was always a very kind, soft spoken manvery nice. I wasn't sure what happened to him through the years, but now I know he's in our loving Lord's arms. He is at peace now for sure!
May our loving God give you all the strength to get through this difficult time.
