Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 30, 2015, at St. Stephen 
Catholic Church in Berwick during an 11:00 AM Mass of Christian Burial for

23, 2015. 

He will be laid to rest with his late wife in the Berwick Cemetery.

family visitation at 8:30 AM, and public visitation at 9:00 AM and continuing 
until time of Mass. The recitation of the Holy Rosary will be at 10:15 AM, led

Donald was, on many levels, an artist at heart. Some of his favorite pastimes 
were painting, listening to music, and cooking (especially for holidays). He 
also enjoyed his daily trips to Wal-Mart visiting with the employees and 
shoppers, and having breakfast every morning at McDonald's. He was a longtime 
employee of the Holiday Inn in Morgan City. His passion in life though was his 
grandchildren which he so loved. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed 
by all who knew and loved him.

Survivors include his two children, Michelle T. Williams and her husband Jim, 
and Michael Thibodeaux and his wife Jaime Stroud; five grandchildren, Austin 
Stroud, Kamrin Thibodeaux, Kaitlyn Bodin, Gabrielle Thibodeaux, and Isabella 
Thibodeaux; one great grandson, Ashton Stroud; two sisters, Antoinette "Nettie" 
T. Hull and Wanda Marie T. Bonin; and nieces and nephews, Donald Jr., 
Christine, Debora, Tammy, Margaret, Sean, Bobby, Sharon, Shane, Tessie, Stevie, 
Robbie, and Buddy.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Carol Jean Green Thibodeaux; his parents, 
Cleveland Thibodeaux and Emily Fournier Thibodeaux; two brothers, Cleve and 
Floyd Thibodeaux; and one niece, Tana.

Serving as pallbearers will be Michael Thibodeaux, Jim Williams, Austin Stroud, 
Bobby Bonin, Sean Bonin, and Sharon Buck.

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