Linda was a longtime, devoted member of Our Lady of Seven Dolors and the Catholic Daughters of America. She was a big fan of the McNeese Cowboys football and basketball teams. Having grown up as part of a close nit family that included her sisters and brother, Linda was blessed to always know the importance of family. This is why she adored spending time with her friends and loved ones, especially her "precious angels" Dylan, Joshua and Linsey. She was dearly adored by her nieces, nephews and cousins and her monthly "cousins' luncheon" was a special time she always looked forward to. She will be dearly missed by a special group of friends who loved her and who will always cherish the many memories of the fun times spent together with her. Linda made the "BEST" chocolate chip cookies and those who were privileged to receive them will surely miss that delicious treat.
Those left to cherish her beautiful memory is her husband of 50 years, Jerry Hughes; her two sons, Lance Hughes and his wife, Jennifer, and Lee Hughes and his wife, Stacey; her three grandchildren, Joshua Hughes, Dylan Hughes and his fiancé, Macey Pace, and Linsey Hughes; her sisters, Jeanette King, Shirley Guillory, Carolyn Primeaux, and Geraldine Fusilier; and her brother, Terry Broussard.
She joined in heaven her father, Hillard Broussard and her mother, Eula Guidry Broussard.
