Brenda was born June 30, 1955 in New Iberia to the late Winnie Freyou and the late Betty Viator Freyou, and was the last born child to that blessed union. Brenda attended New Iberia Senior High and began working right out of high school. She worked with Jeanerette Mills and in housekeeping, but her greatest role, one that she was most proud of, was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her life was lived to ensure that her family had everything they needed. As long as they were happy, she was happy.
Some of Brenda’s favorite pastimes were traveling with Dallas to their favorite vacation spots. Dallas recalled their trips to Branson and Tennessee and the memories made along the way. Another of her favorite times was putting on her signature red lipstick and red nail polish, and going out on her Friday night dinner date with Dallas. Whether it was Pat’s in Henderson or Shucks in Abbeville, she and Dallas had a delicious meal and a great evening. Above all, her greatest love was the time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. It was what made her heart the happiest.
Although her beautiful smile will not be seen with our eyes, her presence will be felt in our hearts and thoughts. Rest well dear Brenda, for you have earned your heavenly reward. Until we meet again. All our love.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 23 years, Joseph Dallas Meyers; her children, Tammy Robin (Michael), Leah Hebert (Christopher), Tony Meyers, Troy Meyers (Jeanise) and Joseph Dallas Meyers, Jr.; her grandchildren whom she adored, Alexis Trahan (fiancé Michael Billiot), Broc Trahan (fiancée Valerie Montoucet), Landon Trahan, Braeden Trahan, Cole Trahan; her precious great grandchildren, Bowen, Adelie, Averie; a host of her grand and great grandchildren; her sister, Kathryn Bouton (Harold); her brother, James Freyou (Lisa); and her daughter-in-law, Katina Bayard.
Brenda is reunited with her parents, Winnie and Betty Viator Freyou.
