Funeral services will be held Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Patterson during a 10 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial celebrating the life of Carolyn Doty Anderson, a Franklin native and resident of the Patterson area for over 60 years who passed away at the age of 89 on Sunday, Jan. 14, 2018, at her daughter’s home in Houma. A gathering of family and friends will begin at 8 a.m. and continue until Mass time, followed by interment in the St. Joseph Cemetery Mausoleum. Monsignor J. Douglas Courville JCL will be the Celebrant of the Mass and conduct the services.
Carolyn was known by most as Ms. Doty and was affectionately called Aunt Kaki by her family. A devout Catholic, Carolyn was a faithful parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Patterson. She worked as a Registered Nurse for the St. Mary Parish Health Unit for 25 years, where she was known as the “Shot Lady.” She had a passion for quilting, was a member of the Patterson Quilting Guild, and even taught sewing classes. Other passions in her life included cooking, baking for holidays, and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. But what truly filled her heart with joy was spending time with, especially camping, and taking care of the love of her life, her loving husband Lee. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Those she leaves to cherish her memory include her two sons, Brent Guillory of Houma, and Robert Guillory and his wife Ava of Lafayette; her daughter, Mary Guillory of Houma; an additional daughter-in-law, Dorothy Anderson of Alexandria; one brother, C.

St. Mary Parish saw a mixture of freezing rain and sleet Tuesday night that caused officials to close U.S. 90 throughout the parish. La. 182 remained opened, though.

Schools were closed, too, Wednesday, but officials hoped to re-open schools Thursday as the chance of precipitation cleared out early Wednesday morning.

Temperatures reached a low of 18 degrees Wednesday morning at Harry P Williams Memorial Airport near Patterson, according to the National Weather Service. Wednesday’s high was expected to reach 35 degrees with sunny weather.

The low Wednesday night into Thursday morning is projected to be 23 degrees with no expected precipitation.

The biggest issue the parish experienced since Tuesday evening was traffic problems, including several vehicles sliding off of the roadways on La. 182 in west St. Mary Parish, said Duval Arthur, parish homeland security and emergency preparedness director.

Sleet, freezing rain and icy road conditions hit the west end of the parish harder than the Tri-City area, he said. Arthur didn’t know exactly how much precipitation the area received, but it was a significant amount.

State Department of Transportation and Development officials closed U.S. 90 throughout St. Mary Parish from about 9 p.m. Tuesday due to ice on the roadways, Arthur said. The elevated portions of U.S. 90 remained closed Wednesday morning with the exception of Calumet Cut.

La. 182 remained open in St. Mary Parish and was used as a detour route, but there were still some patches of ice. So motorists were advised to use caution when traveling, said Detective Lt. Traci Landry, spokeswoman for St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies worked several minor crashes due to the iced roads but no crashes with major injuries, Landry said.

Several vehicles started sliding on the La. 182 bridge in Baldwin when the roads began to ice.

“We worked a few other incidents on 90 where cars kind of spun out, but nothing major,” Landry said.

“DOTD did a great job of shutting everything down, and I think they did a great job of working with us,” Landry said.

A couple of transformers went out in Berwick and workers were trying to fix those power issues Wednesday morning, Arthur said.

“We didn’t have any iced down lines. That’s what we usually get from (freezing) precipitation on trees,” Arthur said.

Public and Catholic schools were closed Wednesday due to the weather. St. Mary Public Schools Superintendent Leonard Armato said Wednesday morning that school officials plan to re-open schools Thursday, but they had to first see if the ice melts away.

Armato planned to meet with homeland security and weather officials Wednesday afternoon to decide whether to re-open schools Thursday.

South Central Louisiana Technical College’s Young Memorial Campus in Morgan City and St. Martin Parish public schools were also closed Wednesday.
