Lucy possessed an unwavering faith and found solace in praying the rosary daily. Her spiritual beliefs were deeply ingrained in her life and she derived immense strength from her devotion. She exemplified compassion and selflessness in every aspect of her being. Lucy had the most giving heart, always willing to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return.
One of Lucy’s defining qualities was her contagious smile that radiated joy to everyone around her. It seemed as though she always had a reason to smile despite any challenges she faced. Her positive outlook on life was truly inspiring and brought comfort to those who crossed paths with her. She had a love for reading and enjoyed listening to French music.
Family was at the center of Lucy’s world. As a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, nothing gave her greater pleasure than spending time with them. The love she showered upon each family member was immeasurable. Lucy’s presence will forever be missed during family gatherings and holiday celebrations where her love created an indescribable sense of unity and belonging.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, Ronald Landry; children, Rev. Keith Landry of New Iberia and Rhonda Wiltz (Kenneth) of Cecilia; grandchildren, Cody James Landry (Skyler) Cecilia, Bryce Jude Wiltz of Scott and Cody Jules Wiltz of Lafayette; great-grandchildren, Alysse Landry and Samuel Landry; and sisters, Velma Quebedeaux of Carencro and Ida Mae Theriot of Nina.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Alice Guidry Theriot; brother, Woodrow Theriot; father and mother-in-law, Edwin and Nela Landry; and all of her other family members who went before her.
Pallbearers were Cody Landry, Bryce Wiltz, Cody Wiltz, Kenneth Wiltz, William Courville and Chester Guidry.
