Shelia Dye Gonzales, 55, a native of Lake Providence, La., and resident of Golden Meadow, La., died at 7:50 p.m. Saturday, March 26, 2011.
Mrs. Gonzales will be fondly remembered as Aunt Shelia. She loved Jesus, her family and especially the little children. She was a paraprofessional in the Golden Meadow School system and worked in the Lafourche Parish Library before retiring to the roll of full-time grandmother. She was a member of the Freedom Worship Center, formerly known as Galliano Assembly of God Church, since 1976, where she taught Sunday School for pre-schoolers and worked with the Missionettes Girls Group. To the world she was one person, but to those who really knew her, she was the world.
She is survived by her husband, Raymond Gonzales; daughter, Ramona (Timmy) Boudreaux; son, Michael Gonzales; four grandsons, Hunter and Adam Boudreaux, and Jonathan “Jon Michael” and Damian “Day Day” Gonzales; and three granddaughters, Brianna and Rhea Grisby and Ashley Moore; sisters, Nancy Mathews and Wanda Petty; 22 nieces and nephews; and 17 great-nieces and great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Corrine “Shine” Dye; father, Willie Dye; three brothers, Truman, Tommie and Ricky Dye; and one sister, Patsy Rigby.
She is buried at Cheramie Cemetery. (Falgout)
