Bernice Aucoin Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Bernice Marie Aucoin, who left us peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on May 24, 1945, in Sulphur, LA, Bernice spent her life in the quaint town of Welsh, where she was a cherished homemaker and the heart of her family.
Bernice is survived by her son, Claude "Dozey" (Tammie) Aucoin, and her daughter, Patty (David) Reed. She also leaves behind her cherished sisters: Margie (James) Bertrand, Cathy Clement, Leona (Glen) Black, and Wanda (Milton) Mallett. Her legacy will live on through her grandchildren - Bradley (Sharon), Jeremy (Cristina), Ashlyn, Ashley, Alex, William "Billy", Kylie (RL), Makayla, and Ace - as well as her great-grandchildren: Brady, Charleigh, Nora, Emberly, Aria, Delilah, Amelia, Greyson, Caroline, Sophie, and Everett.
She was a devoted follower of her faith, finding joy in reading the Bible and attending church services. Bernice had a passion for crafting, cooking, decorating, and loved nothing more than spending time with her family, creating lasting memories.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Miguez Funeral Home with Rev. Nickolas Helton officiating, where family and friends will come together to celebrate her life. Public viewing will be available from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Friday, October 3, 2025, and again on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Following the service, she will be laid to rest at 11:00 AM at Greenwood Cemetery in Jennings under the direction of Miguez Funeral Home.
Bernice's sass but kind spirit and loving nature will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege to know her. Rest in peace, Bernice.
Bernice was preceded in death by her husband: Claude Aucoin, Sr., parents: L J and Maggie Bumgarden Deshotel, son: Ricky Aucoin, sister: Kay Vanslyke, brothers: Isaac and Larry Deshotel, and her great granddaughter: Leighanne Mangrum.
