Survivors include her son and daughter-in-law, Francis and Vana Plaisance of Abbeville; her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Ladessa and Corey LeBlanc of Abbeville; two great-grandchildren, Kallen Elizabeth LeBlanc and Caden James LeBlanc, of Abbeville; a brother and sister-in-law, William and "Bub" Reed of Lafayette; another sister-in-law, Annie Mae Reed of Abbeville; nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Plaisance was preceded in death by her husband, Galton Plaisance; a grandson, Francis "Fran" J. Plaisance, Jr.; a sister, Phlavia Reed Broussard; two brothers, Newman Reed and Sullas Reed; and her parents, Henry Eugene Reed and Elizabeth Stelly Reed.
In her early adulthood, Mrs. Plaisance worked as a surgical nurse at the Palms Hospital in Abbeville. Her nickname was Cheramie, meaning "Dear Friend." Mrs. Plaisance was a founding member of the Abbeville Church of Christ. She remained an active and faithful church member throughout her lifetime, attending church regularly until her death. On Sunday, January 22, the Abbeville Church of Christ honored Mrs. Plaisance on the occasion of her birthday and 65 years of service to the church. Mrs. Plaisance was known for cooking Sunday dinner for the minister and his family for many years. She began each day by drinking a hot cup of coffee while reading a chapter from the Bible. Her favorite church songs were "Sun of My Soul" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." Her favorite Bible verse was "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets" (Matthew 7:12).
At Mrs. Plaisance’s request, pall bearers will be her nieces Lorraine Romero, Eva Callahan, Dena Reed, Ann Hardy, and Mary Hebert, and her daughter-in-law Vana Plaisance. Vincent Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
The family thanks all those who kindly assisted in her care. Mrs. Plaisance touched many lives. She will be greatly missed by family, friends, and all those who knew her.
