Ronald Joseph

Scioneaux

Ronald "BéBé," "Papere," "G-Pa" Joseph Scioneaux, born on June 28, 1932, passed away surrounded by his family on January 10, 2021, at the age of 88. He was a lifelong resident of St.James/Vacherie. The birth and death of this very special man is not nearly as relevant as all the days he lived, loved, and gave to the fullest between those two dates.

While serving in the military, he married his high school sweetheart, Hazel Lasserre, and they had five daughters.  He worked at Kaiser Aluminum until he joined his family's business as a sugarcane farmer. Once he retired from farming, he worked for the St. James Parish Youth Center for ten years.

When he permanently retired, he focused on doing good for others.  BéBé never met a stranger and he never forgot anyone he met.  He put God and family first and he considered so many friends his family!  In addition to supporting and cheering for his family at any and all events, he pursued some of his many hobbies including reading, carpentry, family handyman, visiting friends and family, bike riding, picking neighborhood flowers and fruit, and giving out dum-dums to the neighborhood children.

Ronald loved sports, and his favorites were LSU, Saints, and especially the Wildcats. He was a graduate and avid supporter of St. James High School and its athletic program.  He assumed the role of game announcer for twelve years and was integral in forming the football booster club as well as the band booster club.  He served twice as Chief Quarterback of the football booster club.  For years, the community enjoyed his newspaper column, "Ramblin with Ronald CNO." He touched so many in the community and was recognized as the 1989 Citizen of the Year by The Enterprise newspaper.  Being one of the original members of the Community Advisory Panel (CAP) and the many various recognition plaques on his office wall brought him pride.

He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Hazel Lasserre Scioneaux; his daughters: Jill (Ricky) Prescott, Connie Becnel, Molly (Gordon) Falgoust, Sally (Blaine) Bourgeois, and Patti (Edward "Eddie") Hymel; his grandchildren who all claim to be his favorite: Jason (Adele), Dane, Chase (Jennifer) Prescott, Ron (Amy) Becnel, Lisa (Jason) Rome, Blake, Ben (Whitney) Falgoust, Blair (Trent) Montz, Jake (Maci), Samuel (Rachel Morris) Bourgeois, Katie (Matthew) Labiche, Stephanie and Lee Hymel; his great-grandchildren whom he loved "a bushel and a peck:"  Harper Prescott, Cole and Micah Weeks, Alyse and Luke Becnel, Landen Rome, Aubree and Paislee Falgoust, Hudson Montz, Eli and Andrew Labiche, and making their arrival soon, baby Prescott, baby Collins Bourgeois, and baby Leah Labiche; and his brothers: Anyson "Noonie" (Doris) Scioneaux, Jr. and Donovan (Kris) Scioneaux, Sr.

He is preceded in death by his father, Anyson Scioneaux, Sr.; his mother, Leah Fabre Scioneaux; his sister, Delores Scioneaux; his brother, Carroll Scioneaux Sr.; his father-in-law, Raoul Lasserre, and his mother-in-law, Doralise Delatte Lasserre.

Funeral services will be held at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, Vacherie, LA, on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at 10:00 a.m.
