Perri Lynne was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, and graduated from high school in the class of 1978. From a young age, she had a passion for dancing, excelling in ballet, jazz, and tap at Desires Dancing school, where she later became a dance instructor. Her love for creativity extended to other artistic pursuits such as gardening, painting, ceramics, jewelry making, and even writing a novel.
She pursued her interests while balancing a successful career. Perri Lynne graduated from New Iberia Hair Academy and later earned a place on the dean's list at Delta CNA School of New Iberia. She dedicated herself to two jobs, including managing her own location at Style America in Broussard and working as a phlebotomist specializing in dialysis at the kidney center in New Iberia.
Above all, Perri Lynne cherished her family. She was deeply devoted to her husband of 40 years, Phil James Sinitiere, and together they raised two children, Jeremy Sinitiere (Heather) and Jessica Sinitiere (Blake Sonnier), who were the center of her world. She adored her grandchildren, Embri Sinitiere, Karsyn Henry, and Nahelie LaRose Sinitiere, and found immense joy in spending time with them.
Perri Lynne is survived by her loving children, grandchildren, and her sister, Nanette D. Kibbe.
She was preceded in death by her husband Phil James Sinitiere, her parents Roy and Ethel Romero Derouen, her sister Cheryl D. Broussard, and her niece Mary Kibbe Stamey.
She will be remembered fondly by her nieces and nephews Annie Breaux, Roy Broussard Sr., Roni Chauvin, Kim Martin, and Jamithon Broussard.
