“Teri” as she was affectionately known, a devoted Catholic, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 6, 2024 at the age of 88 surrounded by her loving family. She was a woman of unwavering faith, starting each day with a profound connection to her spirituality. Her mornings were dedicated to watching Mass, followed by the recitation of the Rosary, a testament to her deep commitment to her Catholic beliefs. Beyond her spiritual devotion, Mrs. Prados found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had a particular fondness for game shows, spending delightful hours immersed in the excitement of each episode. Her warmest moments, however, were spent with family on various outings, cherishing the bonds that brought her the greatest happiness.

Known for her quiet nature, Mrs. Prados was a pillar of support for those around her. Always willing to lend a helping hand, she touched the lives of many with her kindness and generosity. One remarkable aspect of her life was her love for adventure, demonstrated by her driving her 5-speed Mustang well into her 80s, a symbol of her spirited and independent nature. Mrs. Prados will be remembered not only for her deep faith but also for the love and joy she brought to those fortunate enough to be a part of her life.

She is survived by her son, Lester Jude Prados and wife Lillie Ruth of Wakeman, Ohio; daughter-in-law, Chandi Landry Prados of New Iberia; grandchildren, Leslie Prados and fiancé James Lods, Karl T. Prados Jr. and wife Tara, Nicole P. Varner, Matthew W. Prados, Logan P. Lanie and husband Rhett, and Jake J. Prados and longtime girlfriend, Emilee Robichaux; great grandchildren, Kaylee Baker, Bella Prados, David Kye Varner, Kora Ann Varner, MaryLynn Theresa Lanie, and Ovilia Ann Lanie; and sister-in-law, Mildred Prados Viator

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lester Joseph Prados; children, Jan Christopher Prados and Karl Timothy Prados; parents, Cleophas Stevens and Marie Leoncia Legnon Stevens; and siblings, Eleanor Stevens, Jacques Stevens(her twin), Lydia Trimble, Louisa LeBlanc and Margaret Stevens.
