Dorothy loved spending time with her family and friends, traveling to her favorite casinos and musical concerts. She and her husband were thoroughbred horsemen which lead to an interesting and exciting traveling life together. Her work families and jockeys in the kitchen were especially dear to her heart and knew her as “Granny”. In recent years she enjoyed riding around her hometown of New Iberia, reminiscing about the past, and seeing its growth throughout the years.

She is survived by her children, Susan Lormand, Katherine Broussard (Bryan), Marilyn Theall, Bryan Theall and Tyrone Theall; loving sister, Rosemary Brasseaux; daughter-in-law, Gay Herkender; sister-in-law, Barbara Falterman; dear and closest friend, Margaret Bernis; grandchildren, Kyi Lormand (Tammy), Seth-Ryan Broussard (Cammie), Hope Manafi (Jon), Destiny Freyou (Justin), Skyler Richard, Jade Richard (Whitney), Brooke Blackman (Brandon), Neil Theall and Tyler Theall; and great grandchildren, Shanna Scott, Matthew Kratman, Kyila Lormand, Kaden Lormand, Cobey-James Broussard, Kaiden Broussard, Kolin Broussard, Beau Broussard, Liam Manafi, Eli Manafi, Asher Theall, Greyson Freyou, Collin Richard, Draden Richard, Makaya Richard, Dakota Richard, Cooper Blackman, Gavin Durand, Alayah MaGee and Makhi MaGee.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Edgar Ray “Shorty” Theall; parents, Clarville Peltier and Rose Bodin; siblings, Louis Peltier (Delores), Allen Peltier, Walter Peltier (Armine), and Florence “Tootie” Migues (Charles); one brother-in-law, KJ Brasseaux; children, Edgar Ray Theall Jr., Steven Theall and Darrell Theall; son-in-law, Donnie Lormand; grandchildren, Mona Theall, and Steven “Stevie” Theall Jr.; and great grandchild, Makaya Lynn Richard.

St. Charles St., on Sunday, October 15, 2023 from 12:00 PM until 9:00 PM with a rosary being prayed at 7:00 PM; Monday, October 16, 2023 from 8:00 AM until 1:45 PM when the procession will depart for the church.

Her family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Shawn Bacquet, and Dr. Micheal Dibbs. Without their loving care, persistence, and knowledge, her family would not have enjoyed this many extended years with her.
