GUIDRY, EDWARD PAUL 
August 23, 1923 — July 22, 2012

Edward Paul Guidry, a resident of Patterson, born in Verdunville on Aug. 23, 
1923, passed away Sunday, July 22, 2012, at the age of 88 surrounded by his 
loving family in Morgan City.

Edward owned his own tugboat business, Guidry’s Boat Rentals. After retiring he 
loved being on the water, crawfishing, running catfish lines, shrimping, and 
hunting. Edward was a great cook and an excellent carpenter; he actually built 
his first home out of cypress. His pride and joy was the day when he and his 
sons-in-law built a 56-foot all-aluminum shrimp boat, “The Lucky Boy,” right in 
his own yard in Stephensville and launched it right there in the back yard. 
That was a joyful day for him and all his family. The launch was a sight to see 
and will always be a great memory for his family. Edward was a wonderful dad 
and a very giving man. He helped everyone he could, even when he was sick or 
not feeling well, he gave all he had to everyone.

Edward will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.

Edward is survived by his daughters, Mary and her husband Gene Gaudet of Morgan 
City, Maxine and her husband Pat Brown of Bayou L’Ourse, and Lynette and her 
husband Randy Aulds of Stephensville; a daughter-in-law, Sheila Rhodes of 
Morgan City; nine grandchildren, Jason Thompson, Angela Vining, Kim Bernard, 
Travis Romero, Melissa Mareno, Heather Orgeron, Laine Mayon, Brittany Aulds and 
Greg Guidry; 19 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren and one on 
the way; three brothers, Lynwood Guidry and his wife Doris, Willbur Guidry and 
his wife Betty, and Calvin Guidry and his wife Louella; one sister, Dot Costin 
and her husband Luie; and one sister-in-law, Alfreda Guidry.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Marcelin and Elda Aucoin Guidry; his 
loving wife of 54 years, Barbara Boudreaux Guidry; his son, Glenn David Guidry; 
a grandson, David Paul Guidry; and a brother, Leroy Guidry.
