Ovide St.

Pierre, Jr

After a recent cancer diagnosis, Ovide St. Pierre, Jr. was reunited with his late bride, Irma Boe St. Pierre, and their son, Ovide St. Pierre III, on May 7, 2023 at the age of 88. Ovide resided in Gramercy, LA where he raised four children with his beloved wife of 61 years.

Ovide is survived by three children, Dawn St. Pierre Martin (Carey), Jude St. Pierre Sr. (Mary] and Hope St. Pierre Borne (Troy); eight grandchildren, Kassie (Ryan), Darcie (Mason), Heidi, Jude Jr., Miranda, Amber, Hunter and Parker; six great-grandchildren, Ty, Talan, Weslie, Adalyn, Lennon and Benson; siblings Lois "Tootsie" Roussel and Mae Bourgeois (Gene) and his sisters-in-law Margaret St. Pierre, Merlyn St. Pierre, Hazel Landry and Doris Boe.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Irma Boe St. Pierre: his first son, Ovide St. Pierre Ill; his parents, Ovide Sr. and Mabel St. Pierre; his brothers, Alfred "Brodo" St. Pierre and Alvin "Bubbie" St. Pierre; his in-laws, Amedee Boe Sr. and Claudia Boe; his sisters-in-law, Amelia "Meme" Curtiss and Rita Mae Boe and his brothers-in-law Amedee Boe, Jr. and Sheldon Roussel.

Ovide "Boy" "Pete" retired from Freeport in 1990. He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud veteran, hard worker, big talker, friend to many and the adoring "Paw Pete" and "Papa 'Vide" to his grandchildren and great-grand-children who were his pride and joy.

Ovide always had a smile and a story to tell, despite so much loss in his life. After losing a child and caring for his wife with Alzheimer's, he is finally at rest with those he has missed so much.
