Hilda Segura Louviere, our devoted mother and beloved grandmother and great grandmother, passed away peacefully at her residence on the morning of Christmas Eve December 24, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She lived a beautiful and full life of 94 years.
Hilda was born February 20, 1926, the only child of the late Ulysse and Paula Landry Segura of New Iberia. She lived a simple life filled with her most precious needs, her faith and her family. She had a devotion to the Blessed Mother and prayed her rosary faithfully, and gave of herself to the care and love of her family. One of her favorite times was getting together for Sunday dinner and sharing a meal.
