Diane Elizabeth Duncan Thibodeaux - Madison Parish, Louisiana

From New Orleans Times-Picayune March 10, 2017

Diane Elizabeth Duncan Thibodeaux died peacefully at home after a long battle with cancer on March 2, 2017. She fought the good fight, she finished the race, and held onto her faith.

Diane was born in Vicksburg, MS to Richard and Darlene Duncan on September 18, 1966. Raised in Tallulah, she graduated from Tallulah High School in 1984.

Diane loved life and worked as a restaurant manager, a respiratory therapist, a lawn technician, and a musician. She moved to New Orleans in 1986 and later married Jimmy Thibodeaux after meeting in 1993. They worked together playing music, tending their garden, and living life. They raised their two daughters Dodie, now 17, and Daphne, age 9, in New Orleans.

Diane's smile was contagious. She was always happy and positive even through her illness. You could always count on her for a smile. She played the washboard with a flare, and would have the whole crowd singing and dancing along with her. She loved to fish and hunt all of her life and she was exceedingly excited the first time she was able to land a big alligator and has since mounted in her home. She was an excellent cook, and her girls will attest to that. Diane loved making people laugh. She could keep you in stitches with all of her stories and memories. She loved to hang out with her friends, particularly at Fahy's Irish Pub, played on the Quarter Rats pool team, and marched with the Shady Ladies organization in the 90's. She was always somewhere around town making someone laugh and someone else smile.

Special thanks to Staci Warner and David Wood for all their care, help & support. In lieu of flowers, a college account has been set up for Dodie and Daphne at Regions Bank. Please make donations at any Regions branch to Diane Duncan-Thibodeaux Educational fund for daughters. Account number 0237440543.

Celebration of life Memorial services for Diane Elizabeth Duncan Thibodeaux will be held at 1 o'clock pm on Saturday, March 11, 2017 in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana
