Natalie Gautreaux Hebert

Maurice - Natalie Antoinette (Gautreaux) Hebert, 60 January 18, 1963 — June 13, 2023 Paul told the brethren in Philippi, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Natalie Antoinette (Gautreaux) Hebert, 60, of Meaux, Louisiana, was called to the Lord on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. She passed at home surrounded by family from complications of breast cancer. The daughter of Paul and the late Rosalie (Ancona) Gautreaux, Natalie was born on January 18, 1963, in Abbeville, LA and was raised in Meaux. The eldest of five children, her formative years were spent protectively watching over her younger brothers, excelling at track and field, and adopting far too many animals. Natalie married Jayson James Hebert, on April 28, 1982, in Abbeville. They settled in Meaux, where Natalie lived nearly her entire life. She and Jayson shared 41 years of marriage and have three daughters, Noelle Hebert Laperouse, Haylie Hebert Sibille, and McKay Hebert. She loved her family and husband deeply and dedicated her life to their welfare, their home, and, when they came along, to her grandchildren, Cruz, Rosalie, and Natalie. Continuing the legacy left by her late mother, Natalie’s life embodied the Beatitudes. Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-10) that the Beatitudes fulfill God's promises to Abraham and his descendants, describing the eternal paradise that awaits loyal followers of Christ. She was an active member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kaplan. Natalie's legacy endures through her daughters. A traditionalist, Natalie was a loyal, sincere, courageous, and selfless woman whose faith was resolute, for she believed God's will is absolute and not to be questioned. She demonstrated her love with earnest devotion, and her greatest passions were spending time with her family, cooking, and vacationing in Long Beach, MS. Natalie was preceded in death by her mother, Rosalie Gautreaux; son, Clay Christian Hebert; and granddaughter, Natalie Rose Sibille. She is survived by her husband, Jayson Hebert; daughters, Noelle (Jacob) Laperouse, Haylie (Bryce) Sibille, and McKay Hebert; three grandchildren; father, Paul Gautreaux; siblings, Christopher (Lisa) Gautreaux, Nicholas (Lynne) Gautreaux, Carlos (Melissa) Gautreaux, and Roman (Elizabeth) Gautreaux; eight Godchildren; her Godmother, Freida Ancona; and numerous other family members, friends, and parishioners. On June 19, 2023, at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary in Kaplan, visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., with a Rosary for the Dead immediately following. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. in Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary in Kaplan. Natalie will be laid to rest with the Catholic Rite of Committal in a private ceremony.
