Hope Lawson Pitre

Hope was a caring and loving woman who, throughout her lifetime, devoted herself to God and the people around her. She was a loving wife of 30 years, an incredible mother to 4 children, and an amazing grandmother to 4 grandchildren. She was an active member of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic church and spread the love of God to many. She cared for her family with a love that is undeniable. She enjoyed hosting family events, helping others, and spending time with those she loved, especially her grandchildren. Hope knew no stranger and often put her own needs aside in order to help others. She devoted 15 years to Nunez Community College as an administrative assistant in the health and natural science department. Many staff and students comment on the uplifting personality she displayed and how much of an asset she was to not only the health department but also individual students' and staff members' lives. There are truly not enough words to depict how good of a person Hope was and how much she will be missed.

She is preceded in death by her father, Lawrence “Dooley” Lawson; in laws, Emile and Patsy Pitre; Grandparents, Salvadore and Ruth Ritter Rotolo; and other departed family members, Michael “Toy” and Ruth Marie Layrisson, Jill Barrosse, Mickey Pitre, Felix “Bullet” Rotolo, and Cyril Rodriquez

Lawson; daughters, Chantelle Cassagne (Johnny) and Dominique Arbour (Justin); sons, Jean Pitre and Andre Pitre; sister, Annette Devine; brother, Joseph Lawson (Beth); grandchildren, Bryson Guidry, Noelle Toups, Parker Pitre, Jaxson Arbour; nieces and nephews, Amanda and Joanna Devine, Derek Lawson (Kristen), Devin McGee, Justin Barrosse (Jennifer), Amanda Seaborn (Blake), Blake Lewis, and a host of great nieces, great nephews, and cousins.
