FUSELIER, AMELIA ÒMECHIEÓ BENOIT 
1925-2011

Our mother, ÒMechie,Ó departed life peacefully as she slept, surrounded by her 
family and friends on Friday, Sept. 2, 2011. 

She died of natural causes in Lafayette and went to be with her Lord.

Mechie lived a full, energetic, exciting life well into her 70s, as witnessed 
by many. Mom always found the humorous side of life, and there was always a 
silver lining in all her days. Mom loved and enjoyed a large family of five 
children (Henry living in Houston, Merlie and Tootsie living in Baton Rouge, 
and Mitchell living in Breaux Bridge), 10 grandchildren, and 17 great-
grandchildren.

Mom was born in Lake Charles and lived many years in Morgan City, Toledo Bend 
Lake, the Texas coast and Houston. MomÕs final years were in Lafayette.

Mom was preceded in death by our father, Joe; our sister, Judy; and her 
parents, Dehart and Henrietta Benoit.

Mom will be greatly missed by all. To those who knew and loved Mom, please know 
that she would want us all to live life to the fullest as she will be there 
with us. We love you Mom. See you on the other side.

A Christian service for MomÕs ashes is pending the return of a family member 
from out of the country.

Thank you all for being our motherÕs friends.
