Dionne "Dee" Porcher Domercq Comeaux, a trailblazing pilot and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed from this life on March 28, 2023. Dee was beloved for her whimsical spirit and playful sense of humor. She understood that life is a gift and moved through hers in an abiding state of delight. She was a fierce and loving mom and the quintessential cool grandmother. A woman ahead of her time, Dee was also a pilot who flew in international air races and served as president of the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of licensed women pilots. She worked in real estate and at WAFB Channel 9, where she met her wonderful husband Bill Comeaux. After raising five children, Dee and Bill purchased a home on a verdant farm in Ethel, La, where they spent many joyful years and where Dee lived the rest of her life. Dee was preceded in death by Bill and her daughter Patti Pecoraro. She leaves behind her daughter Valarie Perez and sons Wayne Comeaux and his wife Diane, Tommy Comeaux and his wife Emmy, and Paul Comeaux and his wife Molly. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Haley Perez; Jessica Perez, her husband Chris DeBosier, and their two sons André and Rémy Perez-DeBosier; Chris Comeaux, his wife Tee, and their two sons; Amber Borne, her husband Jason, and their six children; Tiffany Comeaux, her wife Sara Moore, and their two sons; Marcus Comeaux; Meagan Banai, her fiancée J. Whited, and daughter; Layne LaBarthe, her husband Tim, and their son; and Courtney Ledet, her husband Mark, and their five children. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Friends and family are invited to gather to remember Dee on Wednesday, April 19th between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Rabenhorst Funeral Home, 825 Government St, in Baton Rouge. We will toast to Dee at noon.
