Connie Toups Leonard, 58, a lifelong resident of Houma, La., died at 1:11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 28, 2011 after battling primary peritoneal cancer.


Mrs. Leonard was a teacher for nineteen years at St. Francis de Sales School enriching the lives of the many students with whom she came into contact. She brought laughter and many smiles to everyone she encountered and made them feel like a lifelong friend. Her joyfulness and infectious personality will truly be missed. She was the daughter of Laurentine Porche Toups and the late Albert Toups.


She is survived by her husband, Dale Leonard; children, Beau, Jessica and Alison Leonard; siblings, Kay (Paul) Michel, Charlene (Jerry) Dupre and Bonnie (Temus) Bonnette; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Russell Henry, Dr. David Pellegrin and Dr. Richard Kline, Patty Voss, Haydel Memorial Hospice and the nursing and medical staff of the oncology and intensive care units of Ochsner Medical Center of New Orleans, La.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org). (Chauvin)
