Priscilla Duthu Obituary

She is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Joseph "Nonk Bat" Duthu, Sr.; children, Angela (Leslie) Trahan, Joseph (Consuela) Duthu, Jr., Chad (Andrea) Duthu, Yolanda (Adedeji) Ajimoti, and Mark (Amy) Duthu; 17 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; siblings, Joseph "Nu" (Irene) Foret, Joseph "Lachune" (Shantel) Foret, Jr., James "Jim" Foret, Troy (Roxanna) Foret, Rosella (Darryl) Carlos, Loretta (Albert) Pierron, and Lisa (Walter) Foret; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Family meant everything to Priscilla. She was so incredibly proud of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. She bragged on them as often as possible; they were the light of her life. Her heart truly belonged to her husband of 56 years, LJ "Nonk Bat." They were by each other's side every day and took care of each other. They showed everyone the true meaning of love. For all who knew her, she was a fun loving woman. Priscilla never met a stranger. Once you met her, you had a friend for life.
The family would like to thank Heart of Hospice, the nursing staff at TGMC, Dr. Ming at Mary Bird Perkins, Dr. Oncale, Dr. Lorio, and Dr. Arceneaux for taking really good care of her.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the family.
