Edward was born May 17, 1941, in Terrebonne Parish, the son of Morris Foret and Louisa Saucier Foret.

Edward was a simple man and if his family and his dog Choolie were around, he was truly happy. Every day he would look forward to his daily hugs from his great-granddaughter. He was a very religious man, who looked to the Lord for strength and healing for others. He could be found praying for hours at a time every day. He was a selfless man, as all his attention went to others in need. Edward also loved to fish, as this was a pastime he and his wife, Leeanna, loved to share together.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Leeanna Scadlock Foret of Patterson; one son, Edward Peter Foret Jr. and wife Keicha of Patterson; one brother, Stanley Foret of Patterson; one grandchild, Stormy Toups and husband Leonard; one great-grandchild,
Madison Toups; one brother-in-law, J-Boy Scadlock and wife Liz; three sisters-in-law, Louella Aucoin, Betty Boudreaux and husband Elwood, and Emma Boudreaux and Stanley; one nephew, Floyd Aucoin; and best friends, Frank and Joy Guarisco.

Edward was preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Louisa Saucier Foret; three brothers, Elwood Foret, Rosevelt Foret and Walter Foret; and one sister, Hazel Foret Verrett.
