seven months.
Mary was born in Dulac on March 3, 1954, the 7 th of 12 children born to John and Marie Voisin.
She had a kind-hearted nature and always put the needs of others before her own. Whether it was
providing a meal or a place to stay, she was there for you. She was truly a selfless person. To
know her was to love her. Her deep compassion for others was rooted in a strong faith in the
Lord. She was a faithful member of Central Baptist Church in Patterson and loved her church
and church-family dearly. She also loved her family fiercely, especially her grandchildren and
great grandchildren who were her pride and joy. Her presence on this side of eternity will be
missed dearly, but her family takes great comfort in knowing she placed her trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ and has been reunited with all her loved ones who have gone on before her.
Survivors include her four children, Jolene Guillory and her husband Kirk, Chad Anslum and his
wife Rebecca, Celeste Williams and her husband Gregory, and Kimberly Madewell and her wife
Liz; 12 grandchildren, Kira and Haley Guillory, Cassandra Trahan, Ariana Herder, Brittany and

Williams; ten great grandchildren; four siblings, Delores Crochet, Theresa Dupre, Paul Voisin,
and Lorie Anslem; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

mother, Marie Octavia Holloway; and seven siblings, Anthony Arthur Voisin, Joseph Norris
Voisin Sr., Joseph Roy Voisin, Ernest “Ernie” Junior Voisin, Kathleen “Beanie” Crochet, James
