“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. Honor her for all that her hands have done.” ― Proverbs 31: 25 and 31 Patsy David Fontenot of Baton Rouge, LA, passed away Saturday, September 25, 2021, at the age of 78. Born November 23, 1942 in New Roads, LA, she was the daughter of Lionel David and Mildred St. Romain David. Patsy is preceded in death by her devoted husband of 60 years, Glynn J.
