Jeane was born in Welsh on Nov. 5, 1933, to John Earl Richard, Sr., and Bessie Kratzer Richard. She was called to her Heavenly Father on Dec. 30, 2019. Jeane was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother whose greatest pleasure came from her love for her family. She loved to dance, play her piano, read, paint and take care of her great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Jennings American Legions Blue Angels, the Serra Club and the Homemakers Association. Her kind, caring actions and words taught all who knew her the definition of love and family.
Jeane is survived by her three sons, Douglas J. Daigle of Jennings, William “Billy” (Suzanne) Daigle of Carencro and Mark (Jeremy) Daigle of Philippines; her two daughters, Kathy (Dale) Deshotel of Oberlin and Paula (Martin) Hardy of Welsh; her three brothers, John Earl Richard, Jr., of Port Allen, Donald Richard of Denham Springs and Jerry Richard of Lafayette; her sister, Elizabeth LeBlanc of Carencro; her seven grandchildren, Elizabeth, Michael, Kade, Marianne, Lacey, Kasey and Davondrick; as well as her 13 great-grandchildren.
Jeane leaves this world to join her parents, John and Bessie Richard, Sr., and her beloved husband, Douglas “Doug” R. Daigle, in the next life.
Those chosen to honor Jeane as her pallbearers will be Kade Hardy, Kasey Hardy, Michael Daigle, Jared Bell, Matthew Brunet, Shawn Treadway and Davondrick Phillips.
