was the daughter of Robert Buford Roubieu and Ophelia Prudhomme.  She was 
born July 4, 1907.

a party.  Stories about her humor are legendary.  She was a devoted Catholic and a 
member of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, where she attended Mass 
on a daily basis.  She was a founder of the Court Regina chapter of the Catholic 
Daughters of the Americas, the Service League of Natchitoches and the 
Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches.
	She was preceded in death by her husband, Jefferson Davis DeBlieux Jr.; 
her half sister, Fleta Rouieu; and her oldest and youngest sons, Jefferson Davis 
DeBlieux III of Houma and Victor Dale DeBlieux of Natchitoches.
	She is survived by her son, Robert Buford DeBlieux of Natchitoches; two 
daughters-in-law, Mary Lee DeBlieux of Houma and Patricia Green DeBlieux of 
Natchitoches; six grandchildren, Jeff DeBlieux IV and Jon Lee DeBlieux of
