Rosadell “Rosie” Boudreaux LaBauve, 81, a native of Raceland, La., and resident of Avondale, La., died Tuesday, March 1, 2011.
Mrs. LaBauve was born April 23, 1929 to the late Bertine Dufrene Boudreaux and Irvin Boudreaux Sr. She was a 1945 graduate of Raceland High School. She retired from TG&Y and Wal-Mart.

Her grandkids were the world to her. Rosie never met a stranger, and will always be remembered for her loving heart, wonderful smile and kind glistening blue eyes. Rosie’s generosity extended to all she knew. Rosie loved helping others, always ready to take a friend to an appointment or just being there as a friend. She loved to see her grandkids’ eyes as they opened her “many” gifts at Christmas gatherings. Kids were Rosie’s life, always donating to the “little children.” Rosie loved to ro-day! Rosie you will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know you!
