Gilbert "Gilly"

Duhe

Gilbert “Gilly” Duhe peacefully passed away in his home surrounded by his loving family on September 14, 2026. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was a lifelong native of Lutcher, Louisiana.

Gilly was known for having many hobbies. He enjoyed racing boats, dirt bikes, and fast cars. Later in life he took on a new passion for bird watching. He loved hummingbirds, eagles, “split tails”, blue jays, and red cardinals. Throughout his entire life he was an avid LSU fan, and loved his Tigers. Gilly’s favorite thing to do though, was take his grandchildren and great-grandchildren fishing at one of his favorite places, the camp.

Gilly leaves behind his loving and devoted wife of 64 years Betty Landry Duhe; his three daughters, Patti Brack (Timmy), Shoo Shoo Bourgeois (Bo Billy), Jan Englade (Larry); grandchildren, Jessica Brack (Wyatt), Tad Brack, Chase Bourgeois (Courtney), Hunter Bourgeois (Madison), Trevor Englade (Megan), Gavin Englade (Lindsay); and 12 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Linda Duhe; three great-grandchildren; his siblings, Freda Stephens, Herbert Duhe, Hazel Bogush, Trainey Caruso, Genevive Duhe, Herman Duhe, Ferdis Duhe, Allen Duhe, and Albert Duhe, Jr.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Visitation and Funeral Mass on Monday, September 21, 2026, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, located at 2130 Rectory St., Paulina, Louisiana 70763. Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., and the Funeral Mass will begin at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow after in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Paulina, Louisiana.
