Lonnie was born December 17, 1946 in New Iberia to the late Lloyd Segura and the late Ethel Derouen Segura.
Lonnie served his country as a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard. He was retired from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development with 50 years of faithful service.
Outside of his work, Lonnie was an avid fan of LSU Football and the New Orleans Saints. Susan recalls his love of cooking and her favorite meals, Cajun dishes. It was one of his pleasures and sitting down to a great meal brought him joy.
Lonnie cherished his time with his family, the many years spent passing down his knowledge to his son Scott, and the quality time shared. He leaves many wonderful memories and will be missed dearly.
Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Susan LaPlace and husband Joshua LaPlace; Scott Segura, and Chantel Walker and husband Perry Walker; and his grandchildren, Austin Segura and wife Lauren Segura, Shae Segura, Ethan Matthews, Matthew Hebert, Meleah Kimball and husband Joshua, Michael Walker, Zachary Walker, and Mallory Walker.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters.
