She married the love of her life Fred St. Romain on October 17th, 1948. They had 6 children and were married for 58 yrs. She retired from the Avoyelles Parish Health Unit where she was employed for 20 years.
She was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother. She had a warm loving personality and a contagious smile and always brought laughter into a room. Her children and grandchildren will always remember her for her wonderful cooking. She loved cooking big Sunday lunches and welcomed everyone. Chicken fricassee, sweet macaroni and cheese and homemade bread were always on the menu.
