Jeanne Marie Gil

Jeanne Gil passed away at her home in Youngsville, La. on March 28, 2020. She was surrounded by her loving daughters Rachel and Sheila, her sister Pat, and her grandson Caden. Born November 26, 1955 to the late Willie “Dickie” Gil, Jr. and Melda Jane Manuel Dupre. She is survived by: her daughter Rachel and grandchildren Logan, Noah, Lane and Caden and great grandchildren Mason, Miya, and Nash; her daughter Sheila and her fiancé Mitch and grandchildren Lexia and Thomas; her daughter Amanda and grandchildren Eyan, McKenzie, and Mollee; her six sisters Gloria, Belinda, Mary Patricia, Catherine, Christine, and Angela; and finally, her ex-husband and friend Wiley. Jeanne worked as a casino table games dealer for over 20 years. Her claim to fame was that if anyone sat at her table, they were losing their money. Her favorite past time was reading novels. She could easily read an entire book in a day. The walls of her room are one huge library from ceiling to floor, wall to wall. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas. She absolutely loved giving gifts and no one could keep her away from her after Christmas clearance sales; trust us, we’ve tried. Her most rewarding accomplishment in life was being a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her heart was so strong and her love was so kind. She was known as “Gramis” to her children and their friends, and her grandchildren and their friends. She was always thrilled to see her family and is described by her grandchildren as being nothing less than a mother to all of them and a place they could all seek shelter when needed. She spent every day of her life trying to make everyone around her happy. She was a friend to all and had a wonderful sense of humor. She welcomed everyone into her home and her life without a second thought and cherished having a full house. We long to hear her voice and see her face again someday. “We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together, but loving thoughts and memories will stay with us forever”. Our family would like to send a special thanks to everyone that assisted our mother in her journey home to Heaven: LGMC nurses and physicians, Grace Hospice, and Cypress Funeral Home. A memorial service will be held at her father’s gravesite in Washington, La. at a later date.
