She will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved her. Ozile has lived such a fulfilling 97 years, full of love, laughter, faith and family. She was a devout catholic and a member of St. Mark Catholic Church and the Ladies Altar Society for many years. She loved to entertain at her home and would invite everybody in for a shared meal she loved to cook. When you went to Ozile's house you always felt like welcome. She enjoyed watching LSU Baseball, playing cards and a game of Pokino. She enjoyed the simpler things in life, spending many days sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and sharing her many stories from years past. Her warm smile and caring soul will be missed by so many. The family would like to express a special thanks to Pinnacle Hospice for their compassion and support in our mom's final moments. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation at St. Mark Catholic Church on Monday, April 1, 2024 beginning at 9:00 a.m., a Mass of Christian Burial will start at 11:00 a.m. The burial will follow at Hope Haven Garden of Memory in Gonzales.
