Ella Ruth "Dodie" Stansbury Mensman a lifelong resident of Morgan City passed 
away November 24, 2014 at Teche Regional Medical Center surrounded by her 
loving family at the age of 91.

She was the loving wife to Ward Mensman for 68 wonderful years, a caring and 
devoted mother to Sheila Mensman and Ward Mensman, Jr. and wife Sandra, a 
doting grandmother to Ward Mensman, III and wife Magan, and great-grandmother 
to Oliviah and Caroline Mensman.
Ella has three surviving sisters, Rose Ann Williams, Wanzie Cousins and husband 
Charles, Carolyn Darce and her husband Robert, and three surviving brothers, 
Owen Stansbury and wife Gloria, Dickie Stansbury and wife Mary Grace, and Jack 
Stansbury.

She was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Rita Breaux Stansbury; two 
sisters, Rita Stansbury and Becky Stansbury Aucoin; and three brothers, William 
"Bill" Stansbury, Merlin Stansbury, and Huey Stansbury.

She enjoyed cooking, and using her talents to create handmade heirlooms to be 
treasured for years to come. In her spare time she relaxed doing word puzzles, 
tending to her flower garden, watch Soap Operas, Wheel of Fortune, and the 
Saints football games, when they were winning. She was a Eucharistic Minister 
at Holy Cross Catholic Church; she also served faithfully on the Bereavement 
Committee for several years.

Visitation will be at Holy Cross Catholic Church Wednesday November 26, 2014

their care of Ella in her last months of life.
