Ryone, affectionately known as Ronnie, had a deep love for the outdoors. She never missed an opportunity to go hunting or fishing, and she delighted in the beauty of God’s creation—whether in the flowers she so carefully tended in her garden or in the majestic birds of the sky. Her favorite of all was the beautiful cardinal.

Ronnie’s greatest joy was her family. Her grandchildren were the center of her world until her great-grandchildren came along, bringing even more love into her life. The memories she created with each of them will be cherished forever.

She also had a passion for cooking and baking, and she loved sharing her dishes with family and friends. Beyond her devotion to family, Ronnie was a faithful Christian who found peace and strength in God’s word. Strong-willed yet kind-hearted, she was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Ronnie is preceded in death by her parents, Ira and Grace Devalcourt; brothers, Joel Devalcourt, Bill Devalcourt, and Frank Devalcourt; sisters, Renae Elbert and Veronica Devalcourt; and grandchildren, Dwain Nettles and Joseph Dyess, Jr. She is survived by her son, Lee Roy Palmer III and wife, Angela, of Zwolle, Louisiana; daughter, Tamra Bass and husband, Nicholas, of Bossier City, Louisiana; sister, Irene Foshee of Anacoco, Louisiana; brothers, Chris Lawrence and wife, Marlene, of Fairhope, Alabama, Gary Devalcourt and wife, Priscilla, of Opelousas, Louisiana, and Olan Devalcourt of Pensacola, Florida; grandchildren, Haylie Dyess and spouse, Josh Behan and Tristan Palmer; grand daughter-in-law, Samantha White; step-grandchildren, Christopher Anderson and wife, Victoria, and Marrisa Anderson; great-grandchildren, Zane Behan, Kambriella Behan, Joshua Nettles, and Tytus Nettles; step-great-grandchildren, Max Weathy, Lucas Lapar, and Joshua, Carter, and Adaline Anderson; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
