Lynda was born August 1, 1947 in Alexandria, Louisiana to the late Essex Dupuy and the late Lucille Batchelor Dupuy. On Sunday, January 19 at 3:30 am Lynda passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. She was 72.
Lynda was an avid reader and enjoyed going to the movies every weekend with her husband, and going dancing to their favorite bands. She and Ray had a passion for traveling and often took spontaneous trips, without even worrying about hotel reservations or where they were going. Some of their most memorable trips were to the Grand Canyon, Hawaii Islands, Puerto Rico, Cozumel, and the Cayman Islands. She also liked watching her grandson’s baseball and football games and granddaughter’s musical productions. She doted on her dog Lexie and must be so happy to love on her in Heaven.
She is survived in death by husband, Ray Dartez; daughter, Kelly Dartez; daughter, Stacy Dartez Stutes; son-in-law, David Stutes; grandchildren, Jacob and Anna Hutchinson and Emma and Ava Stutes; stepbrother, John H. Marien and wife, Becky; stepsister, Kathleen Marien Hardin and husband, David; stepsister, Margaret Marien White and husband, Charlie; stepsister-in-law Patsy Marien; and her aunt and uncle John and Edie Dupre.
Along with her parents, Lynda is preceded in death by her stepmother, Helen Marien Dupuy; brother, Bobby Dupuy; stepsister, Helen Marien Richardson, and stepbrother, Louis C. Marien.
The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the staff of Hospice of Acadiana for their care and compassion shown during this time.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Lynda’s name to Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston St. #200, Lafayette, LA 70503.
