Donna Saulter Bordelon

Donna Saulter Bordelon, age 85, passed away at her home on Saturday, July 27 while surrounded by her family. Donna was born in Bogalusa, LA and became a member of St. Bernard Parish at a young age. After marrying her high school sweetheart, Jerome Bordelon, they settled in Arabi where they raised their 2 sons. Donna was a devoted and loving mother. She was very proud of her family and was overjoyed to become a "maw maw" to her 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Donna loved any opportunity to spend time with her family. She would invest hours preparing the most delicious home cooked meals for them to enjoy, no matter where the gatherings took place. She was known and adored for her feisty, yet good, sense of humor. She will be deeply missed, but forever remembered, by the many who loved her.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Smiley and Catherine R. Saulter, her husband, Jerome Bordelon, her 2 sons, Donald and Jerome "Jigger" Bordelon, and her grandson, Donald Bordelon. She is survived by her daughters in law, Colleen Bordelon and Susan Bordelon, her grandchildren, Jerome "Will" Bordelon (husband of Jaime), Sheri Smith (wife of Dixon), and Benjamin Bordelon (husband of Ashley), and her great grandchildren, Alexander, Joshua, Myah, and Molly, along with host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
