DOMINGUE, BARBARA 

Barbara Jean Domingue, 78, a native of Sulphur, went to eternal rest Friday, 
April 26, 2013.

A gathering of Barbara's family and friends will be at 9 a.m. Saturday at St. 
Theresa Catholic Church at 4822 Carlyss Drive in Carlyss. A Mass of Christian 
burial will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the church, 

with burial in Mimosa Pines Cemetery.

She is survived by her mother, Pearl Callahan Domingue; sister, Jerrie Ann 
Sachitano; niece, Judith Sachitano Rawls and husband, Robert, all of Beaumont, 
Texas; and many cousins in the Callahan and Domingue families.

She was preceded in death by her father, Elton P. Domingue.

Her life was one of service to others. While attending St. Charles Academy in 
Lake Charles, as a boarding student, Barbara developed an admiration and 
respect for religious life. After graduation in 1953, she joined the Marionites 
of the Holy Cross Catholic community. 
Her bachelor of arts degree was earned from Our Lady of Holy Cross College in 
New Orleans. Barbara taught in Catholic schools for 19 years, during which time 
she was known as Sister Mary Consolata. 
Thereafter, she returned to the secular community, and her teaching career was 
in public schools in Terrebonne Parish for more than 30 years. Barbara earned 
her master's of education degree at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, 
where she resided. 
Artistic, creative, versatile and certified to teach many academic fields, her 
favorite subjects were math and science. Barbara received many awards, 
including Outstanding Elementary Teacher of America.

Fond of animals her entire life, she was devoted to her pet Yorkies. Her 
selfless devotion to others continued after her father's death, when she became 
the primary caregiver for her mother, who received Barbara's utmost dedication 
and attention. Barbara retired to Fannett, Texas, and cherished the opportunity 
to be close to her nearby Callahan family.

Broussard's Mortuary in Beaumont, Texas, is in charge of arrangements.
