Born July 2, 1936, Louella “T-Lou” Broussard Blanchard was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many.
T-Lou was a devoted Catholic, parishioner, member of two rosary groups and a member of the Ladies Alter Society of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Parks. She was a hard worker …from working in the field to managing stores, but she really loved working in her yard. She was always willing to help anyone in need and never turned anyone away.
T-Lou loved volunteering her time in different organizations and was a supporter of St. Jude Children’s Hospital. She loved having company and chatting over a cup of coffee. All who knew Lou will remember her dog, Hooch, which she cared for until the end.
She will be dearly missed.
