Obituary published in The Advocate (Baton Rouge) on:  11/28/2010

GRAPHIA, LOIS COOPER
A homemaker and longtime resident of Ventress, she passed away at Pointe 
Coupee General Hospital in New Roads at 6:35 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010, 
after a short but courageous battle with cancer. She was 66 and a native of 
Loranger. She was a graduate of Loranger High School and attended 
Southeastern Louisiana University. She was an avid LSU fan and her passion
was LSU football. Even though it showed her age, she proudly told everyone 
that she remembered the 1958 national football champions. She was just as 
proud of the 2003 and 2007 BCS champions and was ecstatic when two of her 
best friends surprised her with tickets to the 2007 championship game. 
Visiting at Niland Funeral Home, New Roads, on Sunday, Nov. 28, from 5 p.m. 
to 9 p.m. Visiting continues in the funeral home parlor Monday, Nov. 29, 
after 9 a.m. until time of religious services at 11 a.m., conducted by the 
Rev. Larry Fetterolf. Interment in False River Memorial Park, New Roads. 
Pallbearers will be Brent and Wayne Munson, Brennan Hidalgo, Dennis Cornett 
Jr., Stuart, David and Blake Olinde and John Lindsly. Honorary pallbearers
are Chuck Haynes, Gene Munson, Dennis Cornett Sr., Taylor Morgan and Glynn 
"Gene" Bergeron. She is survived by a stepdaughter and her husband, Marian 
and Jessie Mechiel; and many, many great, caring friends who were always 
there for her, who took wonderful care of her and were her family during her
battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, her
husband, Frank "Pop" Graphia; a sister, Jeanette Moran; brother-in-law,
Emmett Moran Jr.; mother, Effie D. Cooper; father, Felder Cooper; and 
mother-in-law, Frances Graphia. Special thanks to Dr. Donald Doucet, who 
never gave up on her, and his staff; Dr. Jay Brooks, whose compassion you 
could always feel, and his caring staff; the Ochsner chemo nurses, who 
always went above and beyond - Lois could not say enough good things about 
them and how caring and attentive that they were; the Mary Bird Perkins
radiation techs, who were wonderful to Lois; and to the nurses of Pointe 
Coupee Hospice, Warren Pourciau, Lucy Crousillac, Karen Hart, Joann Martin, 
Christie Worley and Dr. Robert Helm. To express your condolences you may go
