Bonnie Lou Boudreaux Dugas Benoit, 89, a native and resident of Donner,

The burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery, Thibodaux, LA.

She is survived by her children, Marvin "Ragoo" Dugas and wife, Alie, Carol 
Dugas Angeron and husband, Robert, Leroy Benoit and wife, Emily, Anthony Benoit 
and wife, June, and Dianne Benoit Blanchard and husband, John; 8 grandchildren;

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Hubert "Potot" Dugas; second

Bonnie Benoit has touched the lives of countless people. She was always known 
to open her home and heart to all who came to her door. As an amazingly kind 
and generous soul, she meant many things to different people; and as such, she 
answered to many different names, like: Mama, Aunt Bonnie, Miss Bonnie, Bon Bon 
and Maw Maw - just to name a few.

She was a lap for a child in need of comfort, a listening ear for those with a 
problem, a friend to laugh with and a mother or grandmother to many of whom she 
shared her love, but not necessarily blood. Let's not forget, though, that she 
wasn't afraid to take us to task when needed.

She was always prepared to make sure no one left her home with an empty 
stomach. Her kitchen table has seated hundreds and all left full of food and 
love. The food she prepared was as comforting as a hug and her kitchen, while 
small, was a safe haven.

Knowing her has been a gift; a gift not to be forgotten. No one will ever be 
able to fill the void she leaves in us - large or small. Take comfort that her 
body is no longer in pain and her soul has found joy. She spent many years on 
this earth as a guardian angel watching over us . . . And now she has finally 
earned her wings.

Thibodaux Funeral Home, Inc. is in charge of arrangements.
