Born in Henderson, Mary was a resident of Lafayette, Louisiana for most of her life. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and friend.
She graduated from Cecilia High School in 1960, where she proudly strutted on the football field as head majorette. She married her high school sweetheart, Eric, in 1963. She began real estate as one of the first female estate agents in Lafayette over 40 years ago and she went on to have a very exciting and successful career.
Beautiful, fun, spirited, strong, resilient, vivacious, full of laughter, lively, dynamic, special, Mary had flair for life and always made a grand entrance whenever she walked into a room.
She loved dancing everywhere – in her kitchen, on a table, in the dancehall or wherever she felt moved. One time, she was so moved that she got out of her car to dance and praise. Soon after, a few new friends (because no one was a stranger to her) stopped to join her.
She was an amazing cook and she loved to feed everyong. She used Ro-Tel in her gumbo and it was phenomenal!
She married Mike Baudoin in 2015. They loved traveling together especially when they went to Paris, Cabo and Costa Rica.
Pallbearers were Mike Baudoin, Ryan Hargroder, Bryon Tauzin and Richard Broussard.
Honorary Pallbearers were Austin Tauzin, River Scrantz, Leo Hargroder and Kourt Tauzin.
