Surrounded by her family, a beautiful soul, Marie Braud earned her angel wings and entered heaven on Friday December 16, 2022. What a lady, wife, mother, and grandmother. What a wonderful life she lived. Her 99 years on earth were dedicated to her husband, seven children, sixteen grandchildren, and many great grandchildren. She is survived by her children, Connie (Richard) Brock, Gwen Leblanc, Larry (Carolyn) Braud Jr., Sherrill (Mike) Roussel, and Don Braud. She is also survived by her sisters, Ruth Nell Wilson, Sandra (Ronnie) Asmus; and brother, Charles Delaune. She was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Larry Braud Sr.; sons, Jeffery and Brent Braud; sister, Louis Cox; brothers, Harold and Eddie Delaune. Her life revolved around her family offering nothing but unconditional love, care, and happiness. Marie was born in Prairieville on October 14, 1923. After her marriage at an early age, she lived in a small community called Maplewood and later returned to Ascension Parish and lived the rest of her life on Bluff Road. Her many years on earth were a blessing to all who knew her, and she would become a role model in so many ways as she set examples for others to follow. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation which will be held on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, at St. John Catholic Church from 9:30 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:30 AM. Following Mass she will be laid to rest in Prairieville Cemetery next to her husband and son Jeffery with the ashes of her son Brent lying in her arms. She was a lifelong member of St John's Church and served the community of Dutchtown in many, many ways. The family extends our heartfelt thanks to the ladies who provided care for her for the past seven years, Tammy, Theresa, Lulu, Barbara, Laura, and Amy, we thank you. We also offer our thanks to Hospice of Baton Rouge for their services. Family request in lieu of flowers, make donations to St John's food pantry or Prairieville Cemetery. Grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
