A woman of many talents, Heloise, was an accomplished baker, having worked at and retired from Calandro's Supermarket, on Government St. She was known for her kind and caring spirit, as well as her love for life's simple pleasures, such as fishing, family, friends and cooking. Her warm heart and generous soul touched the lives of all who had the pleasure to know her. And who can forget her competitive spirit when “playing” word games, dominoes and card games!

To her family, Heloise was lovingly known as "Mawmaw". To her friends, she was affectionately called "Weezie" or "Mama Weezie". No matter the name, her love and presence will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to experience it. Her memory will live on in the hearts and souls of her family and friends and all who were blessed to have known her.
