Lillian Legendre, 83, known to most as “Lil”, a native of Napoleonville La., and a resident of Morgan City, La., died Wednesday, Sept. 23, at her residence with her two sons at her bedside.


“Lil” is survived by two sons, Kirk Legendre and wife Cheryl of Lafayette, La., and Kevan Legendre and wife Cindy of New Iberia, La.; three brothers, Lewis J. “L. J.” Rodrigue of Springfield, Oh., Lindsay R. ” Tiger” Rodrigue and wife Christine of Berwick, La., and Lawrence Richard “Nubby” Rodrigue and wife Carolyn of Berwick; two sisters, Mabel R. Griffin of Morgan City and Loretta R. Gros of Bayou Vista, La.; 11 grandchildren, Tisha, Alicia, Brian, Kristian, Emily, Layla, Derek and Zachary Legendre, Kaitlyn Robles, Joey Daigle and Jessica Daigle Vidrine; 12 great-grandchildren.


She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Louis and Eldonia Perrera Rodrigue; husband, Wilben Legendre; and one sister, Vivian “Totsey” Simoneaux.

“Lil” was a member of AARP and “Our Lady Star of the Sea Rosary Group” and was a very devout Catholic. Church was always uppermost in her mind as she could be seen walking to church in all kinds of weather, umbrella in hand, come rain or come shine. Of the loves in her life, she loved her husband, children, and grandchildren the most, as well as those she worked with for some 39 years at City Hall in Morgan City. A more dedicated employee could not be found. “Lil” could be seen going about her daily chores in the utility department.

Visitation will be 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, and 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Twin City Funeral Home. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. “Lil” will be laid to rest with her husband at Morgan City Cemetery.

Twin City Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
