Joyce Hebert Reeser, 89, of River Ridge passed away peacefully at Cannon 
Hospice in Jefferson on September 28, 2016. Joyce, a native of Delcambre, 
was born on June 28, 1927. She graduated from Delcambre High School in 1944 
as valedictorian of her class. She moved to New Orleans during WWII to work 
with The Army Corp of Engineers. She met and married Charles F. Reeser Jr., 
a native of Pennsylvania who was serving in the Navy and stationed in New 
Orleans. Together they had six children.

She was a member of St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Church from its 
beginning in 1959 and was a devout Catholic. She enjoyed activities and bus 
trips with the Joy Ministry at St. Matthew. She truly reasured her family, 
friends and faith. Joyce was known for her delicious roast, rice and gravy 
Sunday family dinners which she cooked for the past 40 years. Her coffee pot 
was always ready to serve family and friends and her home was always open to 
overnight guests. She also worked in the Winn Dixie accounting department 
for a number of years.

Our dear mother is survived by four sons, Mike (Mary Anne), Charles (Liz), 
John and Robert (Kim) Reeser; two daughters, Marie DiBella (Joe) and Paula 
Meyer (Lester); and one sister, Shirley Hebert Derise. She is also survived 
by 15 grandchildren, Michelle, Heidi, Trisha, Kristy, Adam, Erin, Jennifer, 
Tammy, Angela, Justin, Rachel, Ryan, Rebecca, Lindsey and Kyle; and 25 
great-grandchildren. She always welcomed news of another member being added 
to the clan with delight!

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Charles F. Reeser Jr.; parents, 
Adam and Nita Michel Hebert; brother, Rayward Hebert; and grandson, Corey 
Reeser.

All are invited to attend a funeral Mass at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic 
Church in Delcambre on Friday, September 30, 2016, at 11 a.m. with 
visitation beginning at 10 a.m. in the church and a rosary at 10:30 a.m.

Pallbearers will be Mike, Charles, John and Robert Reeser and Joe DiBella 
and Lester Meyer.

We are so very grateful to our beloved mother and grandmother. She lived her 
life so well. Mom fought the good fight, she finished the race, and she has 
kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7). She will be dearly missed.

Thank you to all who have helped care for and visited her, especially these 
past four months. She loved her neighbors and her friends.

Evangeline Funeral Homes Inc. of New Iberia is in charge of arrangements.
