Annette Daniel Badeaux

Annette Daniel Badeaux, a native and long time resident of Madisonville, passed away July 26, 2025 at the Ponchatoula Community Care Center. She was 97. Annette was preceded in death by her husband, Edward A. Badeaux; her parents Floyd and Gertrude Thompson Daniel; her brother Claude Daniel; and her sisters Mary D. Edmundson and Anna Lee D. Arnold. Annette is survived by her son, Mark D. Badeaux of Madisonville, several nieces and nephews, and innumerable friends. She was a good friend to many, never seeming to be in a rush to end a conversation. She was a talented seamstress who enjoyed making clothing and decorating her home with her works of needlepoint and counted cross-stitch. A special joy was being with a group of close friends each week to pursue those hobbies. Annette graduated from Covington High School as Valedictorian. She also graduated from Charity School of Nursing in the 1940's as a Registered Nurse. She worked at St. Tammany Parish Hospital as an operating room nurse for many years, coming out of retirement at one time to set up the operating room at the new Highland Park Hospital. Above all, she made a loving home for her husband and son. Annette was an active member of the Madisonville Presbyterian Church for many years and an avid reader.
