Leonard Philip Wilfert passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at his 
home in Folsom, LA. 
He was born on Tuesday, January 29, 1946 in Holyoke, MA to J.C. "Chunky" 
Wilfert and Clara Marie Leonards Wilfert.

The beloved husband of Theresa Zimmer Wilfert for over 18 years, he is survived

Paula Winzer, Marian Beauchamp and Lee Nevitt. 

He was preceded in death by his father and his former wife and mother to his 
son Ð Rita Clair Thenhaus Wilfert.

Leonard was a dedicated parishioner at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Church 
during the 24 years he lived in Lake Charles, LA and at Our Lady of the Lake 
after moving to Mandeville and recently moved to Folsom and belonged to St.

was loyal in attendance at daily Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, active in the 
Knights of Columbus, Olivetan Benedictine Prayer Group, Bible Study, and

spiritually, but also on an intellectual and personal level as well. 
A graduate with Bachelor's Degrees from both LSU and McNeese State, he received 
his MBA in Accounting from the Univ. of Phoenix in 2005 and was a candidate 
member of the LCPA Society and CEO of Wilfert Accounting Services. He worked
