Those she leaves to cherish her memory include her husband of 52 years, Michael J. Bodin Sr.; two sons, Michael J. Bodin Jr. and Steven E. Bodin and his wife Doris; three grandchildren, Alex R. Miller, William Michael Bodin and Bennett Thomas Bodin; seven siblings, Delores L. Hebert, Eva L. Crochet and her husband Nolan, Isadore Leger Jr. and his wife Diane, Linda L. Migues, Hilda L. Kipp, Aline L. Vice, and Faye Leger; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Isadore Leger Sr. and Aline LeBlanc Leger.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Roland Degeyter and his staff, her caregiver Danielle LaGrange, as well as the staff of Heart of Hospice, for their compassionate and loving care given to Elodie.
