It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Mary Loula Benoit Conner. She was born on March 3, 1929 in Gueydan, Louisiana. Despite humble beginnings, she lived a rich and fulfilling life that touched the hearts of all who knew her.

Mary was a woman of remarkable strength and resilience, overcoming adversity with grace and determination.
