deceased.
She attended St. Elizabeth Convent in Paincourtville, and graduated from St. 
Vincent Institute (now Ascension Catholic High School) in Donaldsonville. She 
worked as a secretary for Sugar Bowl Gas Company for a few years before her 
marriage to Leonard Guedry and subsequent move to Daytona Beach, Fla. Upon her 
return to Napoleonville with her husband and young son, she became a devoted 
wife and mother. Although she worked as a secretary for Leonard's insurance 
business, her main focus was caring for her family. Over the years, her hobbies 
were her Catholic religion, sewing, cooking, and caring for her families and 
others. She was a member of many local organizations throughout her life. 
Shirley was a devout Catholic woman. She attended Mass almost daily, prayed for 
everybody and prayed the rosary every day of the week. She was heavily involved 
in the local religious education organization and taught catechism to the first 
communion class of St. Anne Church for more than 30 years.

Landry's Funeral Home in Thibodaux is in charge of arrangements.
