ROBERT LEE ALLEMAN

Robert “Bob” Lee Alleman, 83, of Sugartown, Louisiana, passed away on February 27, 2025. Born on December 24, 1941, in Westwego, LA, Bob was a dedicated husband to Mayola, with whom he shared an incredible 64 years of marriage. For their 60th anniversary they gathered with family and friends to celebrate their love and renew their wedding vows at DI’s Cajun Restaurant in Basile, La., while listening to their favorite Cajun music.
Bob was a hardworking man who loved his family dearly, always taking the time to visit and share a laugh or a good joke. He found joy in the great outdoors, relishing fishing and hunting whenever he could. A true craftsman, Bob enjoyed woodworking and had a talent for carving pieces from wood that he took great pride in. He had a penchant for drawing and loved to sip coffee on his front porch. Bob was an Army veteran who served his country and was very proud of his time that he spent in the military.
His work ethic was unmatched; Robert retired four times but always found another job to keep busy. He worked 16 years for BE&K at Boise and spent 12 years with the Beauregard Police Jury, where the road patcher machine was even named in his honor — a testament to his dedication and hard work.
Bob will be deeply missed but forever remembered by his beloved wife, Mayola “May” Lee Alleman of Sugartown; daughters, Evelyn Maria Alleman Marcel and Jeffrey of Frisco, TX, Caullet Michell Alleman Trahan and Wayland of Holly Beach, LA; sister, Sylvia Ann Pollet and Wayne of Schriever, LA; grandchildren, Lee Robert Sipe of Sugartown, LA, Ryan Paul Marcel and Katherine of Baton Rouge, LA, Nicole Amie Marcel Walker and Nicholas of Frisco, TX, Molly Michell Gehrig and Nicholas of DeRidder, LA; great-grandchildren, Madison Sipe, Aiden Walker, Ava Walker, Lance Gehrig, Cooper Gehrig, Keller Marcel, Brooks Marcel, Murphy Marcel and a host of family and friends who stood by him. His legacy of hard work, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Cleveland and Cecilia Alleman; brothers, Cleveland Alleman, Jr. and Bobbie James Alleman.
A graveside service was held for Bob on Monday, March 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Sugartown Cemetery in Sugartown, LA, where family and friends gathered to celebrate a life well-lived and to share memories of his kindness and love.
