Willie Pearl Reed Aucoin

She was born on August 19, 1920, to the late John Lemuel Reed and the late Lona Mae Rutland in Bogalusa, La. She also had four brothers that preceded her in death, Allen Reed (Myrtle), Edward Theodore Reed (Elsie), Jewett Reed (Grace), Mack Harold Reed (Helen); and one half-sister Beatrice Reed. Pearl was married to Joseph Aucoin and they had one son, Clifton Aucoin, both of whom preceded her in death. Their home was in New Orleans, La. , until 2005, when Hurricane Katrina left everything and

everyone scattered in different places. She had many nieces, nephews, great -nieces and great-nephews, and after Katrina she was with her brother Jewett's family. Her nephews James Reed (Mary Ann), the

late Ronald Reed (Linda), Douglas Reed (Cathy), and her niece Linda Reed-Schiro (Albert). Also, her nephew Phillip Montecino (Charlene). We want to thank St. Joseph Manor, LaFourche Home for the Aged, Journey Hospice, Guest House of Slidell, and Lakeshore Hospice for their wonderful care that was given to her for the last nine years.
