Dulah Plaisance

Dulah (Jerry) Marie Hebert Plaisance passed on to be with her Lord on Wednesday, June 1st at Harbor Hospice Care in Lake Charles. Dulah was born on January 16th, 1927 in Abbeville Louisiana to Mehault Hebert and Evie Myers Hebert.
She married her husband Paul Plaisance Sr. in 1945, having just graduated high school. They moved to New Orleans where they lived in the French Quarters and she was employed at a major department store on Canal Street where she worked at the makeup counter.
In 1952 they moved to Lake Charles along with several other members of her family from Abbeville so the men could work at the local plants and refineries that had been built during World War II. In 1953 they purchased their home on Mill Street where she lived for 68 years. Dulah and her husband built apartments in their large house on Mill Street, which Dulah managed.
Dulah was a housewife and mother, who in her own words “was born to cook”. At only five years old she would pull up a stool to the stove to help prepare the family meals. She had a deep Catholic faith and was a member of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception for 68 years. Dulah lived by her faith by always giving to family and strangers.
The last two years of her life Dulah lived and was cared for by her niece Jennifer Guillory (Jim). Dulah moved in for Hurricane Laura and never left. She was Maw Maw to Roger D. Corbello, Chris Corbello, Sarah Corbello Guillory, Roger Paul Corbello, Dylan Marshall, and Emma Guillory.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 56 years, Paul Plasiance Sr.; her sisters, Laura Shearman, Clarice Hebert and Lillian Fredrick; her brothers, Henry Thibodeaux, Maurice Thibodeaux, Alpheus Hebert, Alphe Hebert, Forestire Hebert and Duah Hebert.
