After the war, Julie and then new husband Arthur Coplon, moved back to Thibodaux and ran the business which then became known as Arthur Coplon's. They settled into family life in the community that they grew to love.

Funeral Services will be held Saturday at Holy Savior Catholic Church in Lockport with visitation in the church from 8 a.m. to mass time at 10 a.m. Procession to the cemetery will immediately follow the mass. Maria Toups leaves to cherish her memory, her faithful husband of 51 years, Emile J. Toups, who will always regard her as his "Special Angel." Also lovingly remembering her are her children and grandchildren, Emile A. Toups, Dr. Vincent J.Toups, his wife, Dee Dee with their sons Brian and James, Dan G. Toups and his wife, Kim, and Marnie Toups Carter and her husband, Neal with their daughters, Maria, Callie, Ashley, and Mikaela. Cherishing her memory, also, are her brother, Dr. Vincent Leggio; her sister, Gertrude Leggio DeLouise with husband, Lucien; her sister, Lucille Leggio Distefano with husband, Buttie; and her brother-in-law, Francis M. Toups. Maria goes to her Heavenly home, joining her parents, Tony and Annie Leggio; and her brother, Dr. Anthony Leggio Jr. Maria was born to Anthony Benedict and Annie Pirello Leggio in White Castle on May 28, 1939. During her too brief, yet full life - from Louisiana to towns in Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, and Florida - Maria touched many lives, always leaving a lasting impression of her strong spirit, generous nature, and deep Catholic faith. Throughout her years, Maria knew no stranger. There was never a friend, a relative, or a doctor's staff who did not at least once receive homemade pralines or mini pecan pies. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to have been given that very unique garage sale find that she had purchased just for you; better yet, the most coveted gift of all - her cherry cream cheese pie. We will always remember her striking smile and her love of laughter, dancing and games ... her knack for painting, stuffing artichokes and making lasagna ... and her compassionate, thoughtful way of comforting us and letting each of us know how much we are loved. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by those who called her Mike, Momma, Aunt Maria, Mrs. Maria, MawMaw, Wife and friend. May her devout soul rest in peace and may Perpetual Light shine upon her. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your favorite charity. ======================= Published: Friday, November 26, 2010 WERNER, MARIA ========== A photo is available for this file.
