Gladys Trahan, a beloved matriarch, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2023, at her residence in New Iberia. Known for her culinary prowess, Gladys was not only a great cook but also a source of comfort and joy for her family and friends. Her kitchen was a hub of warmth and delicious aromas, creating lasting memories around the dinner table. Gladys's culinary talents were matched only by her boundless love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her family was the center of her universe, and she poured her heart into creating a nurturing and loving environment for each generation.

In addition to her culinary skills and devotion to family, Gladys had a deep connection with nature. Her green thumb was legendary, and she found solace and happiness in her vibrant garden. Spending countless hours cultivating flowers, vegetables, and herbs, she created a haven of beauty and tranquility. Gladys also had a tender affection for her feathered and finned companions, tending to her pet birds and maintaining a flourishing fish aquarium. Her love for nature was a testament to her gentle spirit, leaving an indelible mark on those who were fortunate enough to share in her passion for life and its simple, beautiful pleasures. Gladys Trahan's legacy will be remembered not only in the delicious meals she prepared but also in the love she cultivated within her family and the natural beauty she nurtured around her.

Hulin (fiancé Victoria Richard), Nicholas Hulin (fiancé Madison Ford), Hunter Martin; great-grandchildren, Bella Boudreaux, Brody Boudreaux II, Tomahawk Boudreaux, Avery Hulin, Aiden Hulin, and Colby Vinet.
