On Sunday, September 3, 2023, in San Antonio, TX, Gladys Marie Catyb sadly went to be with Our Lord at age 88. Gladys was born on October 6, 1934 in St. Martinville, LA, to Junius and Elsie Savoy. She had one daughter, Vickie, with her first husband. She then met her second husband, Joseph Catyb, in New Iberia, LA, at Dauterive Hospital, where she was working at the time. They wed on August 24, 1964, had two children, and remained married for 21 years until his death in 1985. Gladys was a homemaker who loved her family deeply and embraced her Cajun heritage with a zest. Her laugh was contagious and she brought joy and smiles to all that met her. She was a kind-hearted person who loved gardening, cooking, family gatherings, and meeting new people. She was very loved and will be missed terribly. Gladys was preceded in death by her husband Joseph Catyb, mother Elsie Fruge Savoy, a brother who died at birth, her father Junius Savoy, and stepmother Sophie Robicheaux Savoy. She is survived by her children Vickie Jackson, Joseph Catyb, Cheryl Anne Catyb; grandchildren Sean Donnelly, Christopher Donnelly, Brian Donnelly, Adrienne Donnelly, Ashley Catyb, Brandon Catyb, and Kaitlyn Gallina; siblings Gereline Frederick, Joyce Romero, Bernette Thibodeaux, Sarah Dupuis, Roy Savoy, and Leonard Savoy; and many beloved great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and in-laws. Though her passing is sad, there is peace knowing she is with Our Lord, her beloved husband and parents. For those wishing to pay their respects, a visitation will held be at the Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd, New Orleans, LA, on Friday, October 6, 2023, beginning at 9:30 AM followed by a funeral mass at 12:00 PM and interment at Masonic Cemetery No. 2.
