A resident of Erath, Ms. Thelma passed away at her home on Sunday, November 6, 2022.

She enjoyed her nursing career, comforting others, being outdoors catering to her plants, margaritas, and Maine Coon cats. She loved bragging about her children and grandchildren.  She was most excited about her two new cats, her grandbabies on the way, and her devoted and selfless fiancé.

She is survived by her fiancé, Tony Derouen of Erath; her children, Heidi Casselman Nowicki (and her husband Scott) of Broussard, Gordon Heath Casselman (and his wife Amanda) of Frederick, MD, Sarah Casselman Navarre (and her husband Joshua) of Youngsville, Quinton Daniel Wilkinson (and his fiancé Sierra Landry) of New Iberia, and Allie Marissa Wilkinson (and her significant other Axel Szczepaniak ) of Baton Rouge; her brother, Leon Reed, Jr. (and his wife Lynda) of Minden; her three grandchildren Logan, Noah, and Jonah;  her two grandchildren that are on the way; and her godchild Crystal Lynn Gary Dirk.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Leon Reed, Sr., and Nellie Comeaux Reed; her sister, Lovina Kay Reed Breaux, and her nephew Preston James Gary, Jr.

In recognition of the notable impact Ms. Thelma has had in her nursing career and time with her work family, her memory is being honored in the form of a scholarship program sponsored by Maison de Lafayette to provide funding for employees seeking to further their education in the field.

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