Genevieve Guidry Price, 87, a resident of Morgan City, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at Maison Jardin Senior Living, surrounded by her loving family.

Genevieve was born on October 20, 1934 in Morgan City, the daughter of Eugene C. Guidry Sr. and Emily Gros Guidry.

Genevieve was a hard-working lady who never stopped, she would get up early, make breakfast for her children and send them off to school. She retired from Schlumberger as a senior operations clerk but also worked at several local banks including MC Bank and Teche Federal Bank and also worked as a legal secretary for local attorneys. After working all day, she would come home and fix supper for her family each night. On Saturday she would clean her house and then on Sunday, the whole family went to church. In all of this, she always found time for family fun and fishing as well as visiting her friends and extended family. She leaves behind many great memories to cherish and stories to tell. Genevieve was a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post 4222, Desk and Derrik Club of Morgan City and a proud member of the Catholic Daughters for over 40 years.

She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by, five children, Emily P. Morgan and husband Patrick, Lee F. Price and wife Pam, Charles O. Price and wife Lisa, Morris J. Price and wife Gwen, John D. Price and wife Becky; 12 grandchildren, Patrick Morgan Jr. and spouse Novy, Kenneth Morgan and spouse Lauren, Jeremy Price and spouse Jill, Joshua Price and spouse Courtney, Jordan Price and spouse Mandy, Harleigh Price, Krista Wiggins and spouse Curtis, Kristopher Price and spouse Jon, Beth Chiasson and spouse Tyler, Kyle Price and spouse Amanda, LeeAnne Richard and spouse Tyler, Courtney Ratcliff and spouse Andrew III, plus two girls that were like her own grandbabies, Mindy and Shelby; 15 great grandchildren, Maddox, Piper, Bradley, Jayden, Emma, Tyler, Tucker, Beau, Jaxon, Jace, McKenna, Adelyn, James, Kinsley and Ava. Genevieve is also survived by numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law of the Price Family and close family friends, Susie Sanford, Mamie Grier and Doc and Sandra Woodard.

Genevieve was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lee Otis Price Jr.; father and mother-in-law, Lee O. Price Sr. and Agnes S. Price; three brothers, Emilie “Lulu” Guidry and wife Francis, Dave Guidry and wife Martha and Eugene Guidry and wife LeDora.

A visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 23, 2022 at Twin City Funeral Home with a rosary being prayed at 7:00 p.m. The visitation will resume from 10:00 a.m. until Mass time on Tuesday at Sacred Heart Church. Following Mass, Genevieve will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery Mausoleum.

Central Catholic High School held commencement ceremonies Saturday.
The celebration began with a Mass at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Morgan City with the Very Rev. P.J. Madden as celebrant. Sofia Saleme and Mason Wisdom were altar servers.
Readings were by graduates Olivia Black and Gweneth Dohmann.
Following mass, salutatorian Gracie Pintado and valedictorians Hallie Crappell, Spencer Hebert, Abbie Scully and Nicolas Spitale addressed those gathered.
Diplomas were distributed with the help of Madden, Principal Peter Boudreaux, Curriculum Specialist Gerrie Byrne and Guidance Counselor Karen Tycer.

Centerville High School Principal Kristina Estay will be the next human resources director for St. Mary Parish schools, Superintendent Teresa Bagwell said in a press release.

Estay will succeed Suzanne Bergeron, who is retiring.

Estay will begin working with Bergeron in early June.

"Given the critical role that the Human Resource Director plays in recruiting and supporting the retention of employees, the district recently conducted an extensive search and interview process for her successor," Bagwell said.

Estay started as a math teacher at Patterson High School and Patterson Jr. High School before moving into the administrative ranks as an assistant principal and now principal, of Centerville High School.

Her 26-year career also included several years as a softball and volleyball coach.

Estay has led Centerville High School since 2015, instituting the “Leader in Me” Program that achieved “Lighthouse” status.

"Ms. Estay has benefited from the experience of guiding Centerville through the myriad of academic changes at every grade level and brings a wealth of experience into the position of Human Resources Director," Bagwell said.

The superintendent said the district is also grateful for the many contributions made by Bergeron as she approaches retirement.

"Her 36 ½ -year career was also solely devoted to supporting the students, teachers, and staff of St. Mary Parish as an elementary teacher at Lagrange and Hattie Watts Elementary Schools, and curriculum facilitator at Maitland Elementary School," Bagwell said.

Bergeron also held several educational leadership positions, including district instructional specialist, principal of Patterson Junior High School and supervisor of elementary and middle schools before moving into the position of human resources director.

Additionally, Bergeron completed the state’s National Institute for School Leadership program and was selected as Parish Principal of the Year for Middle Schools.

"Her vast expertise in the academic arena of K-8 education and support for educators was a driving factor in her success," Bagwell said.
