Nell was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She was committed to her Catholic faith and found great joy and strength as a lifelong parishioner of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church.
Family was the center of Nell's world. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones. Her warmth and care extended far beyond her home. Nell dedicated over thirty years to teaching at Pierre Part Primary School. Her legacy of kindness, patience, and wisdom will live on in her daughters, grandchildren, and former students.
In her free time, Nell enjoyed reading, camping, and traveling. She especially adored attending her grandchildren's soccer and football games, track and swim meets, cheer competitions, and dance recitals. Eddie was always by her side, sharing in life’s adventures and the many special moments spent with their family.
She leaves behind to treasure her memory her husband of fifty-seven years, Eddie Theriot; three daughters, Amy Falcon (Shawn), Candace Jolissaint (Joseph), and Lori Trotti (Lance); nine grandchildren, Colin, Ava, and Abigail Falcon, Charlie, Alex, and Vivian Jolissaint, and Katelyn Davis, Luke and Emily Trotti; sisters, Rowena Verrette (Aubrey) and Opal Ford (John); sisters-in-law Betty Landry and Josephine St. Germain (Floyd), and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Lueany and Herbert Templet; father and mother-in-law, Therese and Weekless Theriot; sister Lennora Ackman; brother-in-law Donald Landry.
