Dr. Philip Davis Uzee, 95, retired Nicholls State University historian, dean and 
archivist, died in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday, April 1, 2010.

Visitation will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Thibodaux Funeral Home and 
from 9 a.m. to funeral time Wednesday at St. Joseph Co-Cathedral in Thibodaux. 
Mass will be 11 a.m. Wednesday at the church, with burial in the church 
cemetery.

The professor emeritus of history was born Nov. 5, 1914, in Jennings, but grew 
up in Lafourche Parish, graduating from Raceland High School in 1931. He earned 
degrees in history from LSU in 1935, 1938 and 1950.

Dr. Uzee taught at Valere-Guidry Elementary School in Cut Off, at LSU and at 
McNeese Junior College in Lake Charles before joining the Nicholls faculty in 
1953.

He served in the U.S. Army from July 1942 until June 1946. In 1945 he received a 
direct commission as a second lieutenant. He spent more than two years as a 
member of the headquarters staff of military government for Germany, first in 
London, then Versailles and finally Berlin.

In 1955 he married Yvonne Toups, a native of Laurel Valley Plantation and a 
Nicholls librarian.

Dr. Uzee became dean of the Nicholls College of Liberal Arts in 1963 and an 
Alcˇe Fortier professor of history in 1973. In 1974 he stepped down as dean and 
then served as university archivist until his retirement in 1984. His 
specialties as a historian were Louisiana and Lafourche Parish. In retirement, 
he assisted Nicholls and Diocesan archives as a volunteer who mostly translated 
documents.

Dr. Thomas A. Becnel, Nicholls professor emeritus of history, said Uzee was "an 
expert on the Reconstruction Period in Louisiana history and the foremost expert 
on the Lafourche country and its geography, culture, language and religion." 
Becnel also called him dedicated and multi-talented as a teacher, researcher, 
administrator, translator, editor and archivist. He was the consummate educator 
and scholar, and he was "noted for academic and personal honesty."

Similarly, Carole Mathias, director of Ellender Memorial Library at Nicholls, 
said, "Dr. Uzee was the consummate professional and a kind and caring 
individual- and a mentor to many. He served the university in a variety of 
capacities and did an excellent job in all of them."

He frequently received awards for his civic, educational and church service and 
leadership. He served in the Knights of Columbus Council 1114 in Thibodaux as 
faithful navigator and as District I marshal. In 1970 he was president of the 
Louisiana Historical Association, and in 1992 the association elected him a 
fellow. He once served on the St. Joseph Parochial School Board. In 1993 he 
received a Houma-Thibodaux Volunteer Activist Award. In 2006 he was inducted 
into the Tri-Parish Hall of Fame.

He published many articles and book reviews in scholarly journals, edited 
several books and translated from French to English the "Annals of the Parish of 
St. Joseph" written by the Rev. Charles M. Menard. His translations were 
published by the Bayou Catholic in 1990-93.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Yvonne Toups Uzee. He is survived by one 
son, David of Dallas; one daughter, Denise of Baton Rouge; a daughter-in-law, 
Trina; and two granddaughters, Elyse and Camille, of Dallas.

The family requests donations to Nicholls State University in lieu of flowers.

Margaret Carpenter LeBoeuf, 60, a native and resident of Morgan City, died at 
her residence here in Morgan City Friday April 2, 2010.

A memorial service will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. today at Twin City Funeral 
Home.

Margaret is survived by her devoted and longtime companion, Maxwell Crochet; one 
daughter, Alesha Swan; an extra special son-in-law, Wilbert Swan; two 
grandchildren, Bridgette and Elijah Swan; one brother, Larry Carpenter and wife, 
Donna, of Slidell; and one devoted sister, Evelyn C. Bergeron and husband, 
Larry, of Morgan City. She is also survived by a person who devoted her time to 
Margaret by relocating to Morgan City to assist her in running her house and 
caring for her and her family, namely, a great person, Cindy Crochet. A "sister" 
walked into Margaret's life many years ago and became part of the family as she 
was at Margaret's beck and call. Coming in from her home in Texas and spending 
as much time a she was needed, Nora Hartless was a great friend and counselor. 
Margaret also leaves behind her many great friends and associates from Teche 
Regional Medical Center who spent many hours with her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Bridgette LeBoeuf; her 
husband, Barry LeBoeuf; and her mother and father, Grace and Clinton Carpenter.

Many will remember Margaret in her chosen profession as a registered nurse here 
at Teche Regional Medical Center.

She received her nursing degree late in life and immediately became a 
workaholic, putting in many hours of work and then studying many hours to make 
her more able to serve the sick of her community. She always accepted the 
opportunity to better her skills as she had many certifications in the medical 
field. She was a true example of what it meant to serve others.

She enjoyed many things in life but most of all, the simple things were her 
favorite, such as a pretty yard in which she enjoyed working. Friendships were 
important to her as she had made plenty in her short sixty years. Most important 
to her was her family which revolved around her two grandchildren, Bridgette and 
Elijah Swan.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Central Catholic High School in her 
memory.
