Internment will be in the St. Michael Cemetery in St. Martinville. The Rev. Austin Leger will officiate at the funeral services.
Lelia was a native and resident of St. Martinville. She was devoted to her adored husband of 64 years, Joseph, her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her home will be remembered by her family as warm, welcoming, and always full of love and laughter. Most Sundays you could find some of her children and their families visiting and enjoying her homemade chicken stew and field peas for lunch. Her grandchildren all fondly remember their Mom Mom walking amongst her grandchildren with her cookie jar asking "want cookie?". She was a kind, loving, woman who cherished her family and her Catholic faith and held both closely to her.

Pallbearers were: Clifton Gaudet, Dennis Gaudet, Louis Gaudet, Raymond Gaudet, Joseph Gaudet, Jr. and Allen Gondron.
