Ame was born in 1936 to the late Octa Galtier and the late Eugenie Renard Galtier and was the only daughter of seven children. She was retired from a wonderful career with Lykes Steamship Company in New Orleans with over 30 years of faithful service. Her brother, Rodley, spoke of her love for her work family and giving her all every day while working.
Outside of her career, Ame lived a simple, yet full and enjoyable life. Through her 85 years, she was able to travel extensively throughout the United States on family trips with her brother and sister-in-law. Rodley added that she also enjoyed dining out, with fried seafood being a favorite of hers. For relaxation and quite time, Ame could be found with her word search puzzles or playing card games, especially solitaire.
Above all, Ame’s greatest love was her faith and family. Her beautiful smile and kind heart will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Those left to cherish her memory are her brother, Jacque Rodley Galtier and his wife Sheryl Reeves Galtier; her sisters-in-law, Mary Jane Galtier and Wanda Galtier; and a host of nieces and nephews.
She is now reunited with her parents, Octa and Eugenie Renard Galtier; and her brothers, Joseph Galtier, Curdis Galtier, Octa Firman Galtier, John Galtier and Leonard Galtier.
