Esther “Esta” L. LeMaire, daughter of Ada Trahan Vincent and Amos LeJeune, died on Jan. 1, 2026. She was a resident of Lake Arthur for the majority of her life; she was proud to call it home. Growing up alongside her brother, Robert LeJeune, the two developed a life-long relationship. Esther loved her family and raised four children (Carla, Clint, Rick, Julie). Esther was also very fond of her work for the Jeff Davis Parish Police Jury, where she dedicated over 40 years of service.
