Alphee "Al" Terrebonne, a man of extraordinary vitality and loving spirit, passed into eternal rest on February 14, 2020. He was a native of Golden Meadow, Louisiana, and a resident of St. Bernard, Louisiana, before moving to Slidell.
Al served proudly in the United States Army for two years and was stationed in Germany. Following his service for our great country, Al worked as a Meat Cutter for 50 years in several different supermarkets.
Al was the beloved husband of his beautiful and devoted wife of 26 years Barbara Nunez Terrebonne, son of the late Dorcillie and Enola Terrebonne, loving father of Melanie Terrebonne, stepfather of Darrel Alphonso (Verna), and the late Rusty Alphonso, brother of Shirley Stokes, Alvin Terrebonne (Peggy), and Dean Terrebonne (Kim). Al was preceded in death by eight siblings. He was the adoring grandfather of Kayla Terrebonne, Warren Alphonso (Kim), Rusty Alphonso (Emily), and is survived by many great-grandchildren.
He was an avid collector of Coca Cola memorabilia and very proud of his incredible collection. Al loved to dance, and was certainly good at it. On a lighter note, Al loved to eat and was blessed to be married to an incredible cook, his wife Barbara, who knew all the "down the road" (Reggio) secrets to scrumptious dishes. She spoiled him every day with delicious meals.
Loved by all his nieces and nephews, Al was always "on-call" to create amazing vegetable and fruit displays for showers and weddings. He spoiled all of them with his love and generosity. He also kept the family in stitches by entertaining them with his endless "Pierre and Boudreaux" jokes. Al will be greatly missed by his wife, family, and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral service at St. Bernard Catholic Church, 2805 Bayou Road, St. Bernard, LA, on Friday, February 21, 2020, with viewing time from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a Catholic Mass. Burial will take place immediately after the mass in St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery, directly across the street from the church. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to "The Wounded Warriors."
