Myrna was born October 6, 1938 in Maringouin to the late Louis Maxie Ricard and Mildred Sigur Ricard, and passed away peacefully Friday, August 25, 2017.

Mrs. Jeanminette was retired from Cardinal Wireline Service with over 20 years of service.

Coleman and husband Kent of Gainesville, GA, Todd Jeanminette and wife Cindy of Crestview, FL, and Kendall J. Jeaminette and wife Louise of Mobile, AL; her grandchildren, Chloe Jeanminette and Emily Jeanminette; and her sister, Maxine “Micky” Darensburg and husband Wayne of Baton Rouge.

Serving as pallbearers will be Kendall Jeanminette, Joe and Arnell Olivier, Felix Jeanminette, Phillip Delahoussaye, James Olivier and Jordan Grogan. Honorary pallbearers are Todd Jeanminette, Ollie Olivier and George Oliver.
