Leila Lynn Foret, 25, passed away Thursday, July 1, 2010, at her parent's 
residence in Broussard following a three year long courageous battle with 
cervical cancer.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 1 p.m. Monday in Martin and Castille's La Fleur 
de Lis Chapel in Lafayette. The Rev. Timothy Richard, Pastor of St. Joseph 
Catholic Church in Patterson, will be the Celebrant of the Funeral Services.

Survivors include her parents, Bobby and Debbie Daze' Foret; one sister, 
Jennifer Lynn Foret and her husband, Kevin O'Brien of Lafayette; her 
grandfather, Paul Daze' of Lafayette; her aunts and uncles, Diane Stevens and 
Walt McDaniel of Lafayette, Judy and Jerry Daly of Baton Rouge, Madeline and 
David Brune of Lafayette, Ronnie and Renee Foret of Lafayette, and Gina and 
David Fox of Louisville, Ky.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, J.N. Foret Jr.; and her 
grandmothers, Lillian Legendre Foret and Dorothy Guillot Daze'.

Leila, born in Corpus Christi, Texas on Aug. 15, 1984, was a resident of 
Lafayette. A strong and bright child, she was known to be someone special and 
very much her own person. She was energetic, always afraid to miss something as 
there were so many things to do.

Leila was a graduate of Clements High School in Sugarland, Texas and attended 
LSU in Baton Rouge and UL- Lafayette. She was passionate about many things as 
she looked to her future. The medical field was a possibility, but her second 
passion was restaurants and cooking and never could figure out which was the 
right calling. And then there was her love for music, which still lives on.

Leila touched a lot of hearts with her kindness, candor and humor during her 
short lifetime. She was a very compassionate and generous person and it carried 
her through illness, always positive, always the fighter. Her confident, strong 
minded and strong willed character was an inspiration to all.

The family requests that visitation be observed from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday and from 
11 a.m. to funeral time Monday in Martin and Castille's Southside location. A 
rosary will be prayed at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Heart of Hospice for 
their loving care and compassion. Memorial contributions may be made in Leila 
Lynn Foret's name to Heart of Hospice, 201 West Vermilion, Lafayette, LA 70501.

Martin and Castille-Southside Funeral Home of Lafayette is in charge of arrangements.
