Age 81, a native of Marrero, LA and minus the last three years in Waggaman, she was a lifelong resident of Marrero. She married Charles and started raising her family soon after high school graduation. She played a vital part with her husband for the Marrero-Harvey Volunteer Fire Department for more than 50 years. From starting the trucks, to blowing the outdoor sirens, to calling members for fires, to later being a full time operator with Jefferson Parish, she was involved in the fire service most of her life. She joined Jefferson Parish Fire Department, (Fire Alarm) as an Emergency Operator on 9-16-1981 and worked until retirement on 5-5-2000. She was known at Fire Alarm and throughout the fire service as “Operator 6”. She knew her job well and did it in the most professional manner. Upon retirement from Fire Alarm, she enjoyed her Saints, LSU football, loved sports, watching westerns, playing slots on her computer/phone, and mostly spending time with her family and friends. Some people may think she was an old stubborn woman, but to know her was to know she loved and cared for everyone. She loved to pick on her family and friends every chance she got.
