Connie Hope Dousay has been a life-long resident of Lake Charles, Louisiana. She passed unexpectedly on October 29, 2024 at the beautiful age of 66 while in her home in her sleep peacefully.
She was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Feb 8, 1958 to the parents of Bonnie Bell Bertrand Ardoin and Oswald Joseph. She graduated from LaGrange Senior High School in 1975. She worked many jobs, including being a boilermaker for local 79, also working at Boeing and Northrop Gumman, and for Bellsouth as an operator.

She is best remembered for her strong will and independence. Spending time with her family was her favorite past time, she was not only a mother and grandmother, but she was a best friend. She enjoyed telling stories, singing and dancing along to the classics as the radio blared full blast on Saturday nights. She also loved sitting on her porch and watching the rain fall. She was a Christian, always making sure her family said their prayers before bedtime.
