Gloria Jean Daigle

After more than thirty-five years as a dedicated educator at Pierre Part Elementary School, she retired, leaving behind a lasting impact on countless students and colleagues. Teaching was not just her profession but her passion, and she truly loved every moment of her work. In her younger years, Gloria found great joy in traveling and exploring new places. She was an enthusiastic LSU sports fan and an avid reader, always eager to learn and grow. She also took great pride in her service as a member of the Assumption Parish Library Board, where she contributed to her community with the same commitment and care that defined her life.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her two sisters, Rose Mary Daigle Landry and Dorothy “Dot” Daigle Boudreaux (Larry); eight nieces and nephews, Cindy Coburn, Darrell Landry (Stephanie), Aaron Landry (Janet), Karen Gomez (Floyd), Dawn Toups (George), Lori Gaudet (Jaime), Colette Plauche and Beth Boudreaux; seventeen great nieces and nephews; eighteen great-great nieces and nephews and two great great-great nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Alma Aucoin Daigle; brother, Paul Daigle Jr.; brother-in-law, Charles Landry and her nephew, Kenneth Coburn.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to her special neighbors Jim and Brenda Caze, Donald and Rosie Cire, Gary Woods and Danny Woods for the excellent care and kindness they showed her throughout the years. They are also deeply grateful to the Paincourtville Fire Department, all of her devoted caregivers who sat with her in her time of need, Dr. Keith Landry, Dr. Amy Moran and their entire staff, as well as the staff at Chateau D’Ville Nursing Home and Cardinal Hospice.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Paincourtville, LA, from 9am until Mass of Christian Burial at 11am. Interment will follow in the church mausoleum.
