George E. Thibodeaux

George Ernest Thibodeaux passed away on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at the age of 75. George was born on August 7, 1950 in Bogalusa, LA, the second son of Raymond and Vernice Thibodeaux. He graduated from Bogalusa High School and went LSU where he completed an undergraduate degree and obtained an MBA from UNO. George married his college sweetheart Mary Ellen Meyer Thibodeaux in 1972, and was a devoted father to his 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren. George worked hard and had pride in his professional contributions, but was enjoying his retirement even more! His loves in life were his wife, his kids, his grandchildren, LSU sports, and kung pao chicken!

He is survived by his wife Mary Ellen Thibodeaux, daughters Lisa St. Germain (Brad), Lauren Picou (Joseph), and Kristin Bernard (Rogan), his brother Steve Thibodeaux (Janet), sister-in-law Laura Thibodeaux, and grandchildren David, Andrew, Ava, Grace, Sienna, and Hazel.
