It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family of James Roy Vidrine 
announces his passing on Monday, Oct. 21, 2013, at the St. Landry Extended Care 
in Opelousas at the age of 81. 
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, 
2013, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Eunice. 

Rite of Committal will follow in the Mt. Calvary Cemetery with Monsignor Robert 
Romero, celebrant.

James worked in the oilfield for over 30 years and then he was the owner and 
operator of Qwik Shop in Berwick and Neighborhood Grocery in Lawtell. He was a 
member of the Knights of Columbus. He loved working in his garden but most of 
all he loved his family, especially his wife, Norma M. Vidrine of Lawtell; his 
three children, Darrel Vidrine and wife, Diana, of Stafford, Va., Karl Vidrine 
of Salt Lake City, and Sylvia Hollier and husband, Wilton Jr., of Bayou Vista; 
and three stepdaughters, Sandra Chiasson and husband, Leroy, and Debra Hall and 
husband, Kenneth, all of Lafayette, and Pat Fontenot and husband, Benjamin, of 
Alexandria. He was a loving and wonderful grandfather to nine grandchildren, 10 
great-grandchildren, seven step-grandchildren and 12 step-great-grandchildren. 
Also mourning his loss are three sisters, Murris Dupre and Shirley Olivier and 
husband, Sam, all of Eunice, and Barbara Brignac and husband, Norman, of 
Jeanerette, and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. He will be missed dearly 
by all who knew and loved him.

He now rests in heaven with his beloved parents, Schurley and Agnes Sebastien 
Vidrine; his first wife, Adeline Trahan Vidrine; a son, Patrick Vidrine; four 
sisters, Dorothy Thibodeaux, Wanda Broussard, Wilma McMillian and Betty Doucet; 
and three brothers, Alvin, Gerald and Bobby Vidrine. 

At the request of the family, visitation will be held at Ardoin’s Funeral Home 
in Eunice Wednesday, Oct. 23, from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. and again Thursday, Oct. 
24, from 8 a.m. until the time of services. Deacon Gary Gaudin will recite a 
rosary at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
