CUDD, WILKIE FORREST 
Wilkie Forrest Cudd died in Denham Springs on Wednesday, July 10, 2002. She
was born in Mount Hermon on Sept. 29, 1912. From 1930 to 1933, she attended
Louisiana State Normal College, now Northwestern State University in
Natchitoches. She taught school in Tangipohoa Parish until 1935, when she
married Wilburn L. Cutrer of Spring Creek. With her husband, an oil
prospector for Amerada Petroleum Co., she traveled for 15 years throughout
the western United States and Canada. Following her husband's death in
1952, she moved to Hammond and took employment as a social worker with the
Louisiana Department of Public Welfare, working in the Livingston Parish
office until 1971, when she transferred to the state office in Baton Rouge.
In 1961, she married James M. Cudd, a Livingston Parish lawyer, and moved
to Denham Springs. Mr. Cudd died in 1969. Since her retirement in 1980, she
had been active in a number of civic and social organizations, enjoying
membership in several bridge groups and the Denham Springs Garden Club. She
also served as a volunteer assistant at Dixon Memorial Hospital and was
president three times for the Suburban Reviewers, a book club that she
helped found in 1965. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law,
Thomas W. and Emily F. Cutrer; beloved grandchildren, Katherine M. and
William F. Cutrer, both of Phoenix; and a host of loving friends. A private
memorial service is being arranged. In lieu of floral remembrances, the
family suggests that contributions be made to the T. Harry Williams
Scholarship Fund, LSU Foundation, 3838 W. Lakeshore Drive, Baton Rouge, LA
70808.
