Together they traveled the world during his 21 year military career. She also played second base in the Women's Air Force Softball League, sparking her love of sports, particularly tennis and bowling. Following her husband's military career, she worked as a professional seamstress, often making her children's clothing. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, who enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends and lived life to the fullest. But her true passion in life was her family and her faith. A longtime parishioner of St. Bernadette Catholic Church, she also taught catechism, and was a member of the St. Bernadette Adoration Chapel.

Broussard Boutte and her husband Herbert, William "Bill" Burgess Jr., and Joey Burgess and his wife Joanna; nine siblings, Emma Renteria, Bertha Sanchez, Alice Holguin, Irene Holguin, Concepcion Rodriguez, Delia Munoz, Peter Holguin, Silverio Holguin, and Willie Holguin; six grandchildren, Jason Burgess and his wife Cheree, Travis Broussard and his wife Cindy, Jered Broussard, Brandon Burgess, Patrick Garza, and Joey Burgess Jr.; nine great grandchildren, Dylan, Jason Michael, Drake, Kyleigh, Travis Jr., Marcos, Kristen, Madison, and Brooklyn; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
