Regina “Din” Cormier Theriot was married to the late Dudley Joseph Theriot for 60 years. Her devotion to her late husband and family was evident in every aspect of their marriage and her daily living. She was a loving, wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother and friend.

She will always be remembered for her caring and loving way she treated everyone. She always enjoyed when a friend, relative or neighbor would drop by for a cup of coffee and visit at her kitchen table. She also loved fishing, going to the camp, playing golf, going to the casino and a booray card game with friends. 

She is survived by her four sons, Gaylord Theriot (Debbie), Kenneth Theriot (Diane), Allen Theriot (Jackie) and Don Theriot (Anita); daughter, Pam Chastant (Gregory); 12 grandchildren; 23 great- grandchildren; 11 great- great-grandchildren; and one brother, Randell Cormier (Louda).

She was preceded in death by her husband, Dudley Joseph Theriot; parents, Edwin and Marthe Cormier; sister, Genevieve Cormier Myers; brother, Raymond Cormier; and a great-grandson, Kaleb Keefe.

Pallbearers were Ken Theriot, Don Theriot, Nicholas Theriot, Dominic Theriot, Russ Theriot, Cory Theriot, Jason Chastant and Allen Theriot.

Honorary pallbearers were Gaylord Theriot and Gregory Chastant. 

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to her grandson Cory Theriot for the loving care he gave to mom and support he provided to the family and the care givers. We are truly blessed to have had Cory to help us understand and care for both mom and dad with any question or concern we had. 

We would also like to thank Hope of Hospice for their support and care for mom during her last months of her life. They were truly a comfort and blessing to us. Last but not least her care givers. There were four ladies who gave mom their love and cared for her as if she was their mom. Julaine Dressel was her main caregiver for the last 2½ years of her life, and her other caregivers were Misty Melancon, Juanita Romero and Cynthia Muffalotta. They were a blessing not only to mom but also to us as they took very good care of mom with love and compassion. 

Pellerin Funeral Home of St. Martinville was in charge of arrangements.
