Dieu-donne J. (D.J.) Guidry, retired Dean of Admissions, LSU Medical School, 
former Professor of Microbiology, LSU Medical School died on Sunday, October 9, 
2011 at the age of 83.

One of the most important comments D.J. made was that “only the brightest of 
the bright walked through Medical School doors”. He loved his students as 
Associate Professor. D.J. received his PHD in Microbiology which he taught at 
the LSU Medical School and at the LSU School of Dentistry. He retired from the 
LSU Medical School as Dean of Admissions in 1988. He loved his work but never 
thought of it as work. It was always that young person applying who was his joy 
and delight to be of help throughout the admissions process.

Survived by his wife Pamela McCreary Guidry, his son Ronald J. Guidry and his 
wife Debra Dimm Guidry, by his daughter Patrice Ann Coxsey Cedor and her 
husband Raymond J. Cedor. (Ronald and Patrice are his children by his previous 
marriage to Kathryn Belle Coxsey who left this world in October, 1990.) He has 
two grandchildren both whom are married. His grandson is Eric W. Cedor and his 
wife Nicole Brignac Cedor and their toddler daughters Regan Therese Cedor and 
Elizabeth Marie Cedor. His granddaughter is Rachel Elizabeth Cedor Sharpe and 
her husband Joshua Sharpe. He was among the most fortunate of men to have such 
a loving and caring family.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral services 
on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 1:00 PM at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 
1501 W. Causeway Approach, Mandeville, LA 70471. Visitation, AT THE CHURCH, on
