Diane was a native and lifelong resident of Franklin until recently, when the 
onset of Alzheimer's would no longer allow her to be away from her daughters, 
who she has resided with for the past year and a half. Diane was a loving wife, 
mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, who enjoyed working in 
her yard, relaxing on the bayou side, and spending time with family and 
friends. 
Many will remember Diane form her early years working at the Shop-Rite Grocery 
Store and later at Teche Federal Savings Bank, where she retired following 12 
years of service. 

On Thursday morning, May 26, 2016, following a brief battle with lung cancer, 
Diane, at the age of 68, closed her eyes to this earthly scene and opened them 
to her Lord and Savior, to be reunited with family and friends gone before her. 
She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Survivors include her daughters, Lori Broussard Langley and her husband Chad, 
and Phyllis Broussard Watson and her husband Richard; five grandchildren, 
Christopher Langley, Mallory Watson, Ryan Langley, Blaise Watson, and Megan 
Langley; her sisters, Judy Battaglio and Kay Carter; her mother-in-law, Joyce 
Goulas Broussard; her sister-in-law, Margaret Fain; as well as three nieces and 
two nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy "Phil" Broussard Jr.; her 
parents, Rene Landry and Thelma Ladoucer Landry; her sister, Gail Clement; and 
her father-in-law, Leroy P. Broussard Sr.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Heart 
of Hospice, Patrice LeBlanc, RN, Renee Sons, RN, and Dr. Gregory Riggs and 
staff, for their loving care and compassion, not only to Diane but also to them 
during their time of need.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1007 Main Street, 
Franklin, LA
