Bessie Campeau Claudet, a most loving mother and homemaker, passed away with 
all of her children at her bedside on Thursday, December 12, 2013 at her home 
in Lockport, La. She was 99.

Bessie was born in Lockport, La on April 10, 1914 and resided there most of her 
life. She was the second child of the late Lucius Vincent Campeau and Edna 
Marie Foret. 
In 1936 she married Aman Joseph Claudet and they shared life for almost 70 
years. They travelled to many countries but she liked "home" best. She loved to 
cook and delighted with those enjoying her meals. She also enjoyed playing 
cards and helping out at the local hospital. 
Bessie was a devout catholic and devoted to St. Joseph.

Her long marriage produced 8 children, all of whom survive her: Claudette 
Caldwell of Thibodaux, La; Louise Bourg (Avie) of Houma, La; Geri Munson 
(Richard) of Baton Rouge, La; Aman "Joe" Claudet, Jr. (Elizabeth) of Luling, 
La; Mary Martinez (Peter) of Raceland, La; Michel Claudet (Diane) of Houma, La; 
Rene Claudet (Barbara) of Lockport, La; and Denise Rome (Robert) of Thibodaux, 
La. 

Bessie made everyone feel special and that applied especially to all members of 
her extended family which includes 19 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren, 
and 1 great-great grandchild. She is also survived by two sisters: Elsie Rupe 
of Lockport, La and Rita Crumhorn of Arabi, La.

Bessie's husband, Aman , passed away on September 19, 2005. She was also 
preceded in death by 7 siblings: Edna Mae Boudreaux, Beulah Schermer, Nolan 
Campeau, Daisy Campeau, Wilma "Minnie" Callaway, Sadie Stewart, and L. V. 
Campeau, Jr.

The funeral mass will be at 11:00am on Friday, December 20, 2013 at Holy Savior 
Catholic Church in Lockport, La. Visitation will be between 9:00am and 11:00am 
at the church. 

Interment will follow at Holy Savior Cemetery, Lockport.

The family extends a special thanks to the group of sitters who provided such 
loving care in her later years: Susie Chauvin, Diane Clement, Charlotte Parr, 
Tammy Punch, Helen Siegrist, and Amaryllis Orgeron.

Donations in Bessie's memory to the American Heart Association or to your local 
Food Bank would be appreciated.
