A Mass of Christian burial will be held Thursday, May 12, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. at 
the Church of the Assumption in Franklin for Elaine Champagne "Teen" Aycock, 93, 
a native of Charenton and a lifelong resident of Franklin, who peacefully passed 
from this earth on May 9, 2011.

Burial will follow in the Franklin Cemetery.  Father Lloyd Benoit will officiate 
the services.

Affectionately known as "Teen" by those closest to her, she was a devoted wife 
and an exceptional mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  "Teen" spent a 
great part of her life in the political arena with her husband.  She unselfishly 
divided her time between her responsibilities as the wife of a lawyer, state 
legislator and Lieutenant Governor with her responsibilities as a mother 
determined to remain in Franklin to make it home for her six children.

She was a gracious host to the many who visited her home and could readily 
involve herself in any conversation, especially issues involving her supportive 
role in state government as she represented her husband for many official state 
functions.

"Teen" was a devout Catholic and a daily communicant for most of the ambulatory 
years of her life.  She gave her entire life to her family and will be 
remembered with pride and admiration by her children.  Her enduring spirit, 
perpetual sense of humor, amazing strength of will and character, generosity and 
conviction to her beliefs of life and love will be her legacy.  She will be 
lovingly remembered by all whom she touched.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence C. "Taddy" Aycock; her 
father, E.J. Champagne, Sr.; her mother, Agnes Hebert Champagne; her brothers, 
Elton J. Champagne, Roy J. Champagne and Lee T. Champagne; her sister, Vivian 
Champon; her son-in-law, Greg Fleniken.

She is survived by her sister, Lillian Turner and her brother, E.J. Champagne, 
Jr.; her children, Barbara "Tateen" Ory and husband Dr. Dirk Ory; Joseph W. 
"Jody" Aycock and wife June; Dr. Kenneth Aycock and wife Sandra; Mary Margaret 
Valls and her husband Michael; Larry "Moo" Aycock and wife Kathy; and Susan 
Fleniken.  She had 16 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Thursday at Ibert's Mortuary in 
Franklin from 10:00 a.m. until time of dismissal.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Michael Ory, Matt Ory, Tad Aycock, John 
Aycock, Ben Aycock, and Cason Aycock.  Honorary pallbearers will be great 
grandsons, Thomas Theriot and Cameron Landry, and family friend, Torre Tugwell.

The family expresses a debt of gratitude for the love and dedication of her 
friend and caregiver Bessie Tugwell, her son Torre, and her extended family. The 
same gratitude is extended to caregiver Mae Hidalgo, her family and the 
neighbors who were always willing to help "Ms. Teen."

Foundation, 924 Main St., Franklin, LA 70538, or Heart of Hospice, 201 W

"Teen" Aycock.
