Ledora was married to Nelson Hebert on December 1, 1940. That union lasted 55 years until his death on October 18, 1996. She was a very loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, mother in law, sister and friend. She had a very gentle and kind soul and dedicated her life to her family. She loved working with her plants, attending her weekly hour at St. Mary Magdalen, attending her weekly rosary gathering with her special friends and attending Saturday afternoon Mass.
She is survived by her seven children, Julia Campbell, Mona Mestayer (husband James), Henrietta Caillouet, Vickie Hebert, Bobby Hebert (wife Tina), Ron Hebert (wife Annette) and Don Hebert (wife Virginia); three sisters, Velma Plaisance, Myrtis Dent and Delores Meaux; twenty grandchildren; twenty-nine great-grandchildren; and eight great-great- grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Nelson; her parents, Eugene and Anny Ledet; five siblings, Lillian Broussard, Wilda Guidry, Sterling Ledet, Raymond Ledet and Emery Ledet; and two son-in-laws, Milton Campbell and David Caillouet.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to her doctors, Dr. Myriam Hutchinson and Dr. Melissa Harrington, for their wonderful care and attention during her illness, along with Abbeville General Hospital's second floor nursing staff, LTAC of Acadiana nursing staff and Acadian Home Care's staff. The family would also like to express their many thanks and love to her caregivers, Louise Stelly and Janie Meche, both of whom Mrs. Hebert thought of as part of her family.
As a two-time cancer survivor, Mrs. Hebert felt that the American Cancer Society Relay for Life was such an important event that celebrated the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembered those loved ones lost, and helped to fight back against the disease. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations please be made to the Vermilion Parish Relay for Life, in the memory of Mrs. Ledora Hebert.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville, 209 S. St. Charles Street, on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. with a rosary to be prayed at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, October 15, 2009 from 8:00 a.m. until time of services.
