The Life of Nathalie Mary Berard
Private funeral services have been set for Nathalie "Putsy" Berard, 79, who passed away on August 8, 2012 at her residence.
Reverend Howard Blessing, Pastor of Holy Cross Catholic Church, will conduct the funeral services.
Mrs. Berard, a resident of Lafayette, LA, was the daughter of the late Walter LeBlanc of New Iberia, Louisiana and the former Nydia Babineaux of New Iberia, Louisiana. She was a past New Iberia Sugar Cane Queen, loved to dance, was an exercise enthusiast and referred to everyone as "Darling." She loved to travel to the beach and never went anywhere without being dressed up and her hair and makeup perfect. She loved going to LaFonda's and the Petroleum Club for friend and family get togethers. She loved coffee and never met a stranger. When she walked into a room, it would light up with her essence of joy. She was larger than life.
She is survived by three daughters, Deadra Touchet and husband Tommy of Lafayette, LA, Karen Ellis of Lafayette, LA, and Angela Thibeaux and husband Bernard "Ben" of Lafayette; six grandchildren, Lacie Lee, Tara Luquette, Nathalie Ellis, Bonnie Brackeen, B.C. Thibeaux, III, and Dailey Thibeaux; three great grandchildren, Ashlyn Lee, Jax Lee, and Jordan Luquette. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, Dailey Berard.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to their Hospice Nurse, Jill Cranfill and her caregivers, Faye Eaglin, Carry Jean Carter and Zabrina Bernard.
Delhomme Funeral Home, 1011 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette, LA, is in charge of funeral arrangements.
