Edna kept children in her home for numerous years. Many knew her as Mamaw Nack. More than anything she loved hosting her family as they all got together; cooking for them was the highlight of their time together. One thing that was very important to her was spending time with her extended family and with her grandbabies; they had a very important bond that was evident when they would all see each other. 

Preceding her in death are her parents, George and Edna (Patterson) Duke, her husband, David Ezernack; her sister, Rena Thompson; her son-in-law, Billy Hancock; and her sister-in-law, Betty Duke. She is survived by her sons, David Ezernack and fiancé Frances Tyl of Shreveport, LA, and Jeffery Ezernack & wife, Natalya of Stonewall, LA; her daughter, Shelia Hancock of Anacoco, LA; her brother, George W. Duke of Timpson, TX; her 10 grandchildren and her 12 great grandchildren; along with a host of nieces, nephews, friends and other relatives.

Honoring her as pallbearers will be Jeremy Ezernack, Evan Ezernack, Tristan Hancock, Guy Girouard, Lance Rivers, and Tallen Girouard.
