Lola Mary Theriot Plaisance, beloved and cherished by all of her family and friends, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at the age of 83. She was the loving wife of Donald D. Plaisance husband of 64 years. She was the caring mother of Wanda Hoffmann, (the late Brian), Janet Asher (Eric), Vicki McDaniel (Mitchell) and Glenn Plaisance (Denise). She was the proud grandmother of Donald Hoffmann, Jamie Asher Hernandez (Jose'), Deanna Hoffmann (Chad Bowman), Jodi Asher (Andrew Snape), Denielle Keller (Jimmy), Jared McDaniel (Ashley), Eric Michael Asher, Rebecca Plaisance, and Alyce Plaisance. Lola cherished and adored her great-grandchildren, Molli, Adelyn, Autumn and Libby Keller, Peyton and Harper McDaniel and Lola Bowman. She is also survived by her brother Howard J. Theriot (Susie). She was preceded in death by her sister, Gloria Alleman, (Gilbert). Lola will also be fondly remembered by nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Lola was born February 6, 1937, to Nancy Picou Theriot in Lafourche Parish, she grew up in Harvey until getting married, they moved to Chalmette where she lived most of her life. She and Donald became residents of Slidell after Katrina. As a mother of four, she worked in the home, raised her family until finding a "temporary outlet" with Patton's Catering, a job she loved and with a family she admired and dedicated over 20 years of service. Lola was one of the founding members (since 1972) of the Versailles Homemakers Club which is now known as the St. Bernard Volunteers for Family and Community, for which she donated time and energy serving others. She volunteered for the St. Bernard Parish Red Cross, Operation Merry Christmas, Children's Hospital and other organizations in an attempt to help others less fortunate. Throughout her life, Lola developed special friendships with ladies she often referred to as a sister or a member of the family. She was dedicated to her Catholic faith; she was truly a proper lady and one of the very few left of that generation. She allowed you total freedom to be yourself, never judgmental; she was simple and pure; and would do anything she could to make you feel comfortable; she was honest when it mattered most. She will be forever remembered as a loving wife, dedicated mother, grandmother and aunt as well as a dear and special friend to many. Special thanks go to the Slidell Memorial Hospital Regional Cancer Center and Slidell Hospital's Ambulatory Surgery Unit whose nurses administered their unwavering care and support to her and her family for years throughout Lola's illness. Also, thanks to the Omni Home Care whose personal touch and support meant so much. Lola was laid to rest in a private burial on Friday, May 8 in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens. A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life at St. Bernard Memorial Funeral home.
