She was born January 16, 1937, in Lake Arthur, Louisiana to the late Ellis and Dora (Trahan) LeBlanc. As a young girl, Dorothy and her family followed her father's occupation in the oil industry attending school in Lake Arthur, Hayes, Cameron and Lake Charles and was a 1955 alumnus of LaGrange High School.
She married her husband, Ferdie P. Wiltz, of 31 years on February 18, 1994. The couple enjoyed traveling, playing cards, and French dancing. You could usually find them cutting a rug at Kaisers or La Poussiere and while being active members of the Cajun French Music Association. Dorothy took great pride in her Cajun heritage and spoke her native language, Cajun French, as often as she could. She was an active member and parishioner of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church of Henderson and loved praying the rosary.
Of all her accomplishments, she was most proud of her success in raising her children and grandchildren. She will be remembered for the nurturing she offered to them, her excellent cooking, and comical wit. She had an unwavering love for family and friends and was a giving, selfless, warm hearted, respected mother, wife, grandmother, and friend.
