Camille Danna

New Iberia--A private funeral service will held on Thursday, August 6, 2020, for Mr. Camille Danna at David Funeral Home in New Iberia.  Camille Danna, age 93, passed away at his residence in Erath on August 3, 2020, at 12:54 pm.  He was born on July 15, 1927, to Sebastian and Sarah Cuccio Danna in New Iberia, La.  He lived in New Iberia & Erath during his lifetime.  Camille graduated from St. Peter’s College in 1944 and was the last surviving member of his graduating class.

He was brought up in a wonderful Italian home – his Dad (from Palermo, Sicily) and his Mom (from Carencro – family originally from Cefalu, Sicily).  His parents ran Danna’s bakery early on in his life.  He was skilled in electronics, but as fate would have it, he & his wife Joyce wound up running the bakery, after his Dad passed away.  As a matter of fact, he became an outstanding baker.

During his lifetime, Camille loved hunting, fishing, playing baseball, and bowling.  He was also quite the artist & loved painting with watercolors.

He was a very devoted Christian, loving God and his wife Joyce Borel Danna of 67 years.  He was a true family man and also had many true and loving friends, including their church family, ministers, great former employees and customers of Danna’s Bakery, and special friends Megan and Carol.  God, family, and friends were his passion.

He is survived by his of 67 years, Joyce Borel Danna; his children – Theresa Danna Cason and her husband John of New Iberia, Camille “Danny” Danna of Haynesville, Maria Danna Segura of Abbeville;  grandchildren David Danna, Christina Vice, Erica Bass, Sarah Harris, Nathan Danna, Jessie Segura and great-grandchildren, Abby Grace Harris, Silas Vice, and Morgan Vice.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Sebastian and Sarah Danna, and sister Mary Kay Palumbo.
