RUBY BOLOTTE BEADLE

July 22, 1930 — May 5, 2023

Ruby Bolotte Beadle, age 92, of Morgan City, LA passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family, on Friday, May 5, 2023. She was born on July 22, 1930 to the late Agne and Annette Veyre Bolotte in Morgan City, LA.

Ruby was a graduate of Sacred Heart Academy and attended Nicholls State and Northeastern LA in Monroe.

Ruby was a Paraprofessional/Adult Ed Teacher in St. Mary Parish, and in November 1984 was named Outstanding Adult Educational Professional of the year for 1983 during the Annual State Convention of The Louisiana Association for Public Community and Adult Education. She was selected for the honor from nominations submitted
from Parishes throughout the State. She was congratulated for her professionalism and dedication to the field of Adult Education.

She was a member of the Ladies Petroleum Club formerly known as the Ladies Oilfield Wives, Krewe of Galatea, Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Ladies Altar Society, Bereavement Committee and a lifelong parishioner of Holy Cross Catholic Church. Ruby and John were members of the Les Amis Dance Club in Morgan City in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Ruby was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and “Nanny” who spent most of her time taking care of her family and friends. She was the epitome of love, compassion and faith. She loved all her family with all of her heart. She was a strong woman guided by her deep faith and love of God. Ruby always had a smile and kind words for everyone she met. Ruby’s greatest talents were cooking, sewing, and dancing. She was an amazing seamstress, and also enjoyed making hot tamales for large family groups, working in her yard, playing cards with her lady friends and dancing with her husband. Her beautiful soul was such an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She will be missed terribly and the void she leaves will be difficult to fill.

Ruby leaves to cherish those memories to her children, Michael Beadle (Diane), Brenda Beadle Alfred (Bill) and Karen Beadle Wade (Raymond “Mac”); grandchildren, Matthew Beadle (Morgan), Kelli Beadle, Rachel Mallinckrodt (Drew), Raymond “Peetey” Wade, II (Heather), William Alfred IV (Laurie), Shane Alfred (Rhonda), Jason Broussard (Tricia) and Beth Broussard; great-grandchildren, Taylor Beadle, Madeline Beadle, Maddox Beadle, Raymond “Tre” Wade, III, Joseph “JD” Mallinckrodt II, Jonathan, Ryan and Jordan Alfred, Alexis and Alaina Alfred, Sydney, Grace and Lexi Broussard and Micah Broussard and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
