Jerry Guillory Obituary
Alexandria - Jerry Guillory, 89, of Alexandria, previously from Hessmer, entered the arms of Our Lord on Friday, June 26, 2020.
Jerry Guillory was best known for being a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, teacher, and a devout Catholic. He was married to his beautiful wife of 67 years, Fay Guillory. Jerry and Fay have an undying love and commitment to each other and to their family.
Prior to moving to Alexandria, Jerry spent over 70 years living in Hessmer. He began his professional career teaching high school math and science at Fifth Ward High School and then finished his teaching career at Marksville High School. He was loved so much by his students and some of those students have kept in touch with him all these years.
Jerry L. Guillory was preceded in death by his daughter, Janis Guillory; his parents, Edwin P. Guillory and Anne Moreau; and his brother, Nathan Guillory.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Fay D. Guillory, their son and his wife, Dr. Bruce Guillory and Janice Guillory, and their daughter, Joan Guillory (John); his granddaughters, including Lauren Lousteau (Ryan), Dr. Rachel Thompson (Brandon), Megan Williams (Joey), Jennifer Mitchell(Russ), and Ashley Leone (John); his great grandchildren, including Camille Lousteau, James Thompson, Easton Williams, Ryder Mitchell, Raleigh Mitchell, Jace Leone, and Ansley Leone; and numerous other family and friends.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Jerry Guillory will be held at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in Alexandria with Father Jose Robles-Sanchez and Father Chad Partain officiating. Entombment will be in St. Alphonsus Mausoleum under the direction of Hixson Brothers, Marksville.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is leading the way in treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We ask this as a way of honoring our sister, Janis, who is now reunited with our father. https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/GiftFunds/GiftFundspx=4846084&pg=personal&fr_id=39300

Mrs. Guillory, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mr. Guillory. He taught me Algebra I and II at Marksville High School in the mid 1960s. He was a superior teacher!!! I was introduced to you on the CODOFIL trip to France in 1975 and enjoyed visiting with you. After going to France I earned my certification to teach French in the elementary grades. I retired after teaching for 37 years. May God bless you and your family! Love, Leah Normand
