Linda was a woman of strong faith and integrity, having shown that strength 
during her 18 year battle with cancer. Even throughout her illness, Linda was 
always concerned for the care and wellbeing of others. One of her favorite 
pastimes was tending to her flowers. But her passion in life was her family 
whom she loved dearly.

Survivors include her husband of 48 years, Allen Matthiews; three children, 
Troy Matthiews and his wife Tracey, Tonya Matthiews Fontenot and her husband 
Gene, and Angela Matthiews Schaub and her husband Jonathan; six grandchildren, 
Monica St. Romain and her husband Evan, Veronica Matthiews, Cameron Fontenot, 
Seth Fontenot, Carson Schaub and Carley Schaub; two great grandchildren, Aubrey 
Fontenot and Cooper St. Romain; five brothers, Alex Orgeron Jr., Harold 
Orgeron, Howard Orgeron, Kenny Orgeron, and Johnny Orgeron; one sister, Cheryl 
Orgeron Bass; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family members, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alex Joseph Orgeron Sr. and Mable 
Comeaux Orgeron.

The family would like to express their sincerest appreciation to Southern Care 
Hospice and Dr. Francis Metz III for the compassionate care given to Linda, as 
well as to Christina Wolfe, her nurse, who was such a blessing to Linda and her 
family.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1111 Lia Street,
