Grace Robertson Thibodaux, 83, a native and resident of Bayou Blue, La. known by many as “The Tax Lady”, died Friday, Aug. 21, at 10:31 p.m.
She is survived by one son, Gene Paul Darcey and wife Madeline of Baton Rouge, La., two daughters, Jill Darcey Deroche and Joan Darcey Toups and husband Benson P. Toups Jr. of Bayou Blue; one brother, Duell J. Robertson of Thibodaux, La.; one sister Mrs. Douglas (Wanda) Canafax of Houma, La., seven grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Orville Joseph Thibodaux; parents, Augustine and Corrine Robertson; four brothers, Norris, Ashby, Farrel and Enoch Robertson; and one sister, Molly Boudreaux.
Grace lived a long and productive life. Nothing brought her greater joy than to be surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and working in her tax office. She was able to work through the week before her death, and was surrounded by her children and grandchildren at the end. For Grace, it was the perfect ending to a wonderful life.
Visitation will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at First Presbyterian Church of Bayou Blue in Gray, La., with a religious service to follow. Burial will be at the church cemetery.
Falgout Funeral Home in Houma is in charge of the arrangements.
