A native and resident of Erath, Mrs. Theriot passed away peacefully on August 30, 2024, at Calcutta House in Lafayette, LA. Mrs. Theriot was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who selflessly devoted her life to her family, friends, and community. She never lacked love for her husband, children, and grandchildren, all of whom she was immensely proud of. Jackie’s family was her everything, and taking care of them was her greatest joy. Her thoughtfulness was intentional, always available to listen and offer a shoulder to cry on. Her love for cooking and baking was evident through the delicious dishes and decadent desserts she created. No matter the occasion, she was always ready to entertain her guests. Although she preferred staying out of the spotlight, she was everyone’s biggest cheerleader. Mrs. Theriot was a one-of-a-kind woman with a knack for making things beautiful, serving every meal on a properly set dining table, and never running out of starch. Her life was a testament to her dedication to family and community, and her kindness and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Mrs. Theriot is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years, Herman Theriot of Erath; one daughter, Jamie Theriot of Erath; two sons, Brodie Theriot and his wife Kerri of Erath, Richie Theriot and his wife Michelle of Erath; two brothers, Tony Hebert and Mark Hebert, both of Erath; and her sister, Liz Schexnayder of Delcambre. Jackie’s legacy also includes six cherished grandchildren: Gretchen Michelle, Grace Margaret, Lillie Anne, Genevieve Marie, Levi James, and Brittlyn Beth.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Eldridge Joseph Hebert and Hazel Lee Thibodeaux.

Special recognition is given to Calcutta House and her healthcare team for the excellent comfort and care they provided.

David Funeral Home of Erath, located at 209 E. Putnam Street, (337) 937-0405, will be handling the arrangements.
