Anna Lasalle

New Iberia–Anna L. LaSalle, age 78, of Jeanerette, LA died on Monday, September 26, 2022.  A Memorial Service will be held Friday, September 30, 2022, at 10:00 AM at Beau Pre Memorial Park Chapel.

Having retired from a life-long career in the nursing profession and being an active member of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) for the past 41 years, Anna devoted her life to the care and service of others. Above all things, she enjoyed spending time with her family (especially cooking for them), playing cards/games or just visiting with them. Other activities that brought joy to her life were sewing, crocheting, painting, drawing, and being a dissectologist.

Anna is survived by her three sons: Tim (Emeline), Troy (Norma), and Davis III (Joan) Dautreuil; three grandchildren: Seth, Devin (Paige), and Riley; five great-grandchildren: Ava, Emberleigh, Kenley, Parker, Reed (on-the-way); two sisters: Patricia "Pat" Waguespack and Ida Roberts; two brothers: Robert "Bobby" and Paul; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her partner, Russell Roy and her parents Robert "Bob" and Marie LaSalle.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the caregivers and staff of Landmark of Acadiana's (St. Martinville, LA) nursing services and Traditions Health's (Lafayette, LA) hospice services.  It is impossible to imagine Mom (Anna) having to struggle through the final three weeks of her life without their dedicated and compassionate care.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts of sympathy be made in the form of a charitable donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at www.giftfunds.stjude.org/anna_lasalle

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
