Dorothy "Dottie" Devall Pentes

Dottie was born August 9, 1927 in Ponchatoula, graduating from Ponchatoula High School, and residing thereafter in Metairie. She was an employee of Western Union and then of Sears; a former member of Immanuel Lutheran; a current member of Grace Lutheran and Turn Square Dance Club; and a volunteer for 25 years at East Jefferson Hospital. An avid seamstress, Dottie outfitted generations of family members, and she and her husband were LSU season ticket holders for over 50 years.

Dottie was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Bernard Padin Pentes, Sr.; parents A. D. and Edith Lewis Devall; daughter Carol Pentes Lane; brothers Preston Devall and John Devall; brother-in-law Randall Pruett; and sister-in-law Lynn Devall. She is survived by sisters Bettie D. Pruett and Helen L. Devall, sister-in-law Leuvern Devall; children Cynthia P. Massey (Craig), Bernard Padin Pentes, Jr. (Mona), and Cheryl P. Eppehimer (Ralph); son-in-law Greg Lane; grandchildren Jason C. Mezzic (Ashley), Jessica D. Massey, Brooke P. Becker (Kevin), Jonathan M. Massey (Mugzy), Katherine P. Pevey (Brad), Jacob R. Eppehimer (Amanda), Jenna C. Lane, Jarred D. Eppehimer, and Kendall R. Lane (Jose'); Super Maw Maw to great grandchildren Connor Becker, Miles Becker, Evie Mezzic, Bennett Pevey, Paxton Mezzic, Olivia Eppehimer, Charlie Pevey, and one Eppehimer on the way; step-grandchildren Brian Lane and Katie Bourg; step-great grandchildren Ashtyn Lecompte, Anna Bourg, and Emma Bourg; and step-great great grandchildren Lane Lecompte and William Lecompte.

We so appreciate the care that Richard Kelt offered as a long time neighbor; and the attention given by the staff of Inspired Living (Dorothy and Sylvia), the staff of Interim Hospice Care (Shannon and Janet), and caregivers Anita (Red), Bree, and Dee.
