Sidney J. Allison

It is with great love and sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Sidney James Allison, who left us on the evening of March 27, 2025. Born on February 7, 1937, he was raised in Zachary, Louisiana by his parents, James and Mae Nell Allison. Sidney's life was filled with kindness, patience, and much love for his family and friends. Sidney graduated from LSU with a degree in business, and was a lifelong fan of Tiger football. He was also a proud veteran, having served in the US Army National Guard for 7 years, where he excelled in marksmanship. This came in handy for years as he tried to rid his yard of pesky squirrels. For many years he loved sailing on his boat, the "Misty". He also enjoyed planting seasonal flowers and keeping his yard in tiptop shape. In recent years, you could often find him rocking on his front porch and visiting with his neighbors.

Sidney was a devoted husband to his wife, Gayle, who preceded him in death after 61 years of marriage. He was a proud father of his two daughters, Cathy and Cyndi, and Grandad to his five grandchildren and one great-grandson.

Sidney is survived by his loving family, daughters and son-in-laws, Cathy and Rob Gough, Cyndi and Barry Breau; his grandchildren, Michael Sonnier (Tori), Loren Gough Enloe (Tyler), Kodiak Gough (Dakota), Brandon Breau, Hallie Breau (fiance' Bryant); great-grandson, Owen Enloe; sister, Norma Delatte (Allen), brother, Wayne Allison (Ann), brother-n-law, Harris "Bubba" Chustz (Leta), nieces, Alison Williams, Laura Ladnier, Kelly Fowler, Nancy Norwood, and nephew, Todd Barkley.

Visitation will be held at Greenoaks Funeral Home on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 9am until funeral service at 11am. A private burial will be held following the services. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the American Heart Association. The family would like to thank Pinnacle Home Health for the wonderful care of their father.
