Judith "Judy" Champagne Fairchild, 76, a native of Franklin, LA and a resident 
of Thibodaux, LA, passed away on Tuesday, April 07, 2015. She spent the last 
years in Houston, Texas surrounded by her children.

A visitation will be held in her honor at St. Genevieve Catholic Church on 
Saturday, April 11, 2015 from 8:00 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 
11:00 AM. 

The burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery in Thibodaux, LA.

She is survived by her loving children; Georgia Fairchild McCuistion and 
husband Bretton, Joseph "Joe" Fairchild and wife Michele Engstrom Fairchild, 
and Benjamin "Ben" Fairchild and wife Elizabeth Holcomb Fairchild; siblings, 
Sue C. Houssiere, Becky C. Ellis, Steve Champagne, John "Jack" Champagne, and 
Elton "Bunny" Champagne; and four loving grandchildren, Luke McCuistion,

She is preceded in death by her parents, Elton and Emily Naquin Champagne

She was the picture of kindness, humility, and God's grace. She surrounded 
herself with the joy of children by teaching and caring for them throughout her 
life. She was the most loving and gentle of souls who felt that children are 
magical and that dogs are God's gift to us. According to her children, she was 
born to be a mother and she filled that role beautifully. She warmed the hearts 
of all she met and touched. She was a loving friend who welcomed everyone with 
the sweetest of smiles. Her special way will live on through all those whose 
lives she touched.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Genevieve Elementary 
School or the children's charity of your choice
