Elizabeth St. Cyr

Elizabeth Mary St.Cyr (affectionately known as Liz) died on May 11, 2020 at the age of 103. She was born on January 20, 1917 in New Roads, Louisiana to the late Hortense Valerie St.Cyr and Peter (Mike) St.Cyr. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Beatrice St.Cyr Rodney. She is survived by three nieces, Ruby Rodney Edwards (Frederick), Joyce Rodney Ison (Richwell), and Rebecca Rodney Weathersby and a nephew, Ernest Rodney, Jr. (Linda).

Liz was a devout Catholic who cherished her Faith more than anything else in her life. Her sweet, kind and loving nature endeared her to everyone - especially to all of the children she helped raise. She considered them all her children and they returned that affection throughout their lives.

The family is grateful to the staff of the John J. Hainkel, Jr. Home who treated Liz with such kindness and compassion - with special thanks to Julie Cressy who was such a comfort to Liz and our family.

Liz will be forever missed by her devoted friend Barbara Scheuermann and by the Bertoniere and Perdigao families.

A Private Funeral Mass will be held followed by a private burial.
