The Obituary of Audrey "LuLu" Vicknair

After a brave battle with cancer, Audrey "LuLu" Vicknair peacefully passed on to Heaven on February 27th, 2020. Her life began 89 years ago on July 1, 1930 as the daughter of Romé and Bernadette R. Roussel. Audrey deeply loved her family, her friends, and her faith. Watching over her six stepsiblings, Audrey was a natural caretaker from a young age. After marrying Paul L. Vicknair Sr., she cared for her 7 children, her beloved aunt, several in-laws, and her grandchildren. She continued to care for loved ones all of her life. Often called the "Mother Theresa of the River Road", Audrey was a devout, Catholic servant of the Lord, dedicating her life to Christ and countlessly praying the rosary at home or wakes. She was a lifetime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Paulina. She served as an officer and member of St. Anne's Altar Society and the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Audrey was one of the first Eucharistic ministers and sponsors of the parish's Junior Catholic Daughters. She volunteered for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, cleaned the church, and cooked for the parish priests. Until she was unable, she served as a perpetual adorer at the Lutcher Chapel. Audrey leaves behind her five children, Terry Vicknair, Darleen Maus (Pat), Justine Hymel (Moise), Aimee St. Pierre, and Dora Amato (Craig); two brothers, Erwin "Boolee" Roussel (Shirley) and Dean Roussel (Theresa); godchildren, Linda Fryoux, Millie Matherne and Herman Bourgeois; 17 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. She is preceded in death by the love of her life, Paul "Pill" Vicknair Sr.; her daughter, Bernadette Lambert (Maurice); her sons, Paul L. Vicknair Jr. and Baby Vicknair; two infant grandsons; and her siblings. The family wishes a special thank you to all those who helped to care for Audrey throughout her illness. Her wake will be Tuesday, March 3 ^rd at St. Joseph Catholic Church from 9-11 AM followed by a mass. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to any of the following: Perry's Posse, St. Anne's Altar Society, or Junior Catholic Daughters. The world has lost one of the kindest, strongest, most generous, and loving individuals; but Heaven gained an incredible angel.
