Patricia loved her family more than words could express. She had a life-long love of reading and a passion for history and genealogy. She was an amazing cook and loved to cook for her family and being surrounded by those she loved. She was proud of where she and her family came from, raised on and near the Atchafalaya Basin and surrounding bayous. She was very knowledgeable of her heritage and her parent’s family history.
Patricia cared deeply for others and was known by all who knew her for her sweet, gentle and caring soul. She loved and knew the Lord, our Savoir Jesus Christ first and foremost and enjoyed attending church. More than life itself she loved her children and grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Elwood “Red” and Katie Burns Marcotte, and her first husband, Robert P. Trahan.
Patricia is survived by her son, Baron and daughter-in-law Dayna Trahan of Gretna, La.; two daughters, Paige and son-in-law Heath Prados of New Iberia and Stephanie Lee of Loreauville; two loving grandchildren, Devin and McKinley Trahan; three siblings, Julie Marcotte of Bayou Vista, Elwood Marcotte, Jr. and partner Joel Ferrier of Alexandria and Cindy and brother-in-law Joe Fuhrer of Verdunville; six nieces and nephews; four great nieces and nephews; five aunts; and a host of cousins and friends.
