WHEREAS, on May 31, 2013, Mrs. Connie Roy Lemoine crossed the chasm from
death to life, and while her joy is now eternal, she leaves to mourn her passing her children,
Susan Brouillette and husband David, Felice, Jack and wife Theresa, and Constance Rabalais
and husband Thad; a sister, Narcille Mayeux; ten grandchildren, four great-grandchildren,
and one great-great-grandchild; yet, the lessons Mrs. Lemoine learned early in life at St. Paul
Catholic Church of Mansura and taught to her family gives them hope that she is in a better
place, reunited with those who had gone before her, including her husband, their son Patrick
Lemoine, Jr., and her parents, brothers, and sisters.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives
of the Legislature of Louisiana do hereby extend their deepest and most heartfelt sympathies
to the family of Mrs. Connie Roy Lemoine as they grieve the loss of their mother, sister,
grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, do hereby express their
condolences upon her death, and do hereby record for posterity that the towns of Mansura
and Marksville were made better by her passage through them.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a suitable copy of this Resolution be transmitted
to the family of Mrs. Connie Roy Lemoine.
