Leona was a loving wife to her husband, Benjamin Savoie, Sr. for 71 years, and raised six children.

Leona was a very devout Catholic who would pray for all those who needed prayer. She would visit the infirmed and shut-in perishers, bring the Holy Eucharist to them. She loved watching EWTN, playing on the floor with all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

One of the best parts of her day was keeping in touch with all those she knew, family, and friends. She would make coffee and spend time with those who came to visit.

Leona was preceded in death by her son, Oray Savoie; parents, Angeles and Stella Talley Guidry; brothers, Leonard Guidry, Elton Guidry, Paul Guidry, Raymond Guidry, and one sister, Ladia Ann Viator.

Honored to serve as Pallbearers are Joey Hebert, Ricky Gravois, Nicholas Gravois, Jake Savoie, Noah Gravois, Mason Gravois, and Dawson Gravois.

Serving as Honorary Pallbearers will be Kyle Pirnie, and Dylan Mendoza.

The family would like to thank Hospice of Acadiana for all the care, kindness, and support they share with their mother, Leona.
