Lois was born September 7, 1942 in New Iberia to the late Clince Waguespack, Sr. and Noelie “MeMe” Comeaux Waguespack and passed away Tuesday December 12, 2017 at her residence. She was 75.
Mrs. Lois was a 1961 graduate of New Iberia High School and remained close to her classmates throughout the years. She has worked with State National Bank and Peoples National Bank, but has worked many years with her daughter and son-in-law at Mark’s Tire and Wrecker Service. She was also a member of the Sugar and Spice Camping Club. But her greatest role in life was that of being a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend to many.
