On Friday, October 21, 2016, Rosemary Lodrigue the sweetest, kindest lady of St. Mary Parish was called to her heavenly home. Rosemary left this world as she lived it, surrounded by friends and family who adored her. Now reunited with the love of her life for 66 years, those left to cherish her wonderful memory can say she lived every moment of her 87 years.

A lifelong resident of Berwick, Rosemary leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Dorothy Anthony of Houma; her son, Kenneth Lodrigue of Patterson; seven grandchildren, Byron Anthony and his wife, Tina, of Houma, Michael Anthony and his wife, Catina, of Gibson, Kristie Sistrunk of Morgan City, Kevin Lodrigue, Kenneth Lodrigue Jr. and his wife, Kasi, of Pontchatoula, Patty Sons Fabre and her husband, Brice, of Bayou Vista, and Monica Sons Mabile and her husband, Joe, of Bayou Vista and ten great grandchildren. She is also survived by two sisters, Ida Crappell of Charenton and Eunice Cunningham of Berwick; her sister-in-laws, Carolyn Sons of Bayou Vista and Leona Durham of Benton, IL.

Rosemary was a proud member of the VFW Auxiliary, American Legion, and East St. Mary Veterans Funeral Squad. She was known best for playing 'Taps' on the bugle during military honors. Spending time with ALL her grandchildren and children was her absolute favorite pastime in her life. Everyone knew she loved playing bingo, especially every Sunday and Tuesday. She also loved gardening and painting the various yard decorations her husband created. Rosemary will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
