She loved helping others in whatever way she could, was an avid reader, served as a den mother for the Cub Scouts and Webelos, and being a dog lover, even served as the official “veterinarian” for family and friends when their dogs needed some TLC. She will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate to have known her.

Those she leaves to cherish her memory include her four children, Kwin M. Savoie and his wife Megan, Kristopher L. Savoie, Kimberly A. Savoie and her fiancé Harlon Cowsar II, and Kory J.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Kevin Lawrence Savoie; her parents, Harold Fike and Barbara “Bonnie” Broussard Fike; her brother, Robert N. Fike; infant brother, Michael Fike; her in-laws, Lawrence J. Savoie and Lucille Robin Savoie; her brother-in-law, Clamey “C.J.” Lombes III; and her sister-in-law, Debra Blanchard Savoie.

Man wanted in Assumption killing arrested in Texas

Tue, 09/07/2021 - 2:32pm

U.S. marshals have arrested a Labadieville man wanted for murder in an April shooting, Sheriff Leland Falcon said.

Ronald Joseph Vallejo, 30, Violet Street, Labadieville, was arrested by the marshals Saturday in Harris County, Texas, on a number of felony charges, including first-degree murder.

The arrest results from a shooting on Violet Street on April 16 that left one man dead and two others wounded.

Deputies responded to a call of a shooting incident at that residence. Detectives commenced an investigation and after interviewing a number of witnesses, Vallejo was identified as the suspect.

Warrants were issued for the arrest of Vallejo on April 18.

Detectives learned that Vallejo had fled the area and relocated to the Houston area, the Sheriff's Office said.

Detectives recently received information as to Vallejo’s whereabouts and provided the information to U.S. marshals.

Efforts to return Vallejo to Louisiana are underway, the Sheriff's Office said.
Vallejo faces charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of stolen firearms.
