Ida Mae Robicheaux

Ida was a simple woman who found her greatest happiness in the beauty of country living. She loved her home in Woodlawn, and on most days, you could find her riding her mower, cutting grass, and enjoying the beauty of God's creation around her. She loved being outdoors and had a special appreciation for the things of nature. As a florist for the majority of her working life, Ida had a natural gift for plants and flowers and a special touch for making beautiful things grow.

Together, Ida and her beloved husband, Pierre "Terry" Robicheaux, built a beautiful life centered around the simple pleasures. They never needed anything fancy or extravagant; their happiness was found in their home, their family, and the life they shared.

They raised one daughter, Laura, who was the apple of their eyes. She was their everything. When Laura blessed them with two daughters of her own, Gracie and Hailey, the spotlight quickly shifted to the next generation. Ida absolutely adored her granddaughters.

Ida lovingly cared for Gracie and Hailey from the time they were infants through adulthood, creating a lifetime of memories and a bond that will forever be cherished. She enjoyed teaching them to play dominoes, although she certainly wasn't known for taking it easy on them. If either granddaughter managed to beat her, they could rest assured they had earned that win honestly! Those domino games, along with countless other memories, will be treasured for years to come.

Ida showed her love in the ways she knew best. She enjoyed cooking for her family, preparing meals, and making the most amazing desserts. She was a traditional wife, mother, and grandmother who took pride in caring for her family and making sure those she loved were always taken care of.

Those left to cherish her memory and carry on her legacy of love are her husband, Pierre "Terry" Robicheaux; her daughter, Laura Brabham, and husband, Micah; her beloved granddaughters, Gracie and Hailey Miers; and Micah's four children, Claya, Camden, Noah, and Braylee. She is also survived by her sister, Ruth Onken, and husband, Arnold; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ralen and Lorraine Robicheaux; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde J. Coble and Bertha Hargrave Coble; her brothers, Clyde L. Coble and Earl Coble; her sisters, Hazel Laverenge, Gladys Anselem, Ethel Coble, and Helen English; as well as several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Brighton Bridge Hospice and the compassionate staff at Resthaven Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for the kindness, love, and care shown to Ida.

Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at Hixson Funeral Home of Welsh. Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until the time of services. Family and friends will be invited to celebrate Ida's life and share in remembering a woman whose greatest joys were found in her home, her family, and the simple beauty of everyday life.

She didn't need a life full of fancy things. She had the home she loved, the family she cherished, and a lifetime of memories. To Ida, that was everything.
