A native of Jeanerette and resident of New Iberia, Mrs. Frioux, also known by many as "Kitty" or "Keka" passed away after a short battle with cancer on Saturday August 29, 2015 at 11:07pm at a Lafayette Hospital with her family by her side. In her younger days, "Kitty" enjoyed playing softball and basketball. Throughout her life her kindness and generosity built many relationships and she considered everyone as a friend. But no one knows of her grace more that her husband of 41 years, Courtney Frioux and their children. Mrs. Frioux held one of the most important positions in life, Homemaker. She graciously cared for her family with wholesome bliss. She lived for her family and making sure all their needs were met. She enjoyed making runs to Wal-mart, tending to her flower garden, and cooking and Mrs. Frioux was a phenomenal cook. From her Jambalaya to her Hamburger Steak, every member of her family had their favorite dish she would prepare. For every birthday or special occasion in her extending family, Mrs. Frioux would always prepare a bouquet of flowers and a cake, and she never missed a celebration with her family. Mrs. Frioux considered family to be the most important thing in life. Caring for her family was never a burden or bothersome, but rather a wonderful gift that she was most grateful for. Her kind, gentle ways and her big heart will be missed by all that knew her.
