She was born Dec. 17, 1917, to parents Charles A. and Vivian Knobloch Badeaux. She attended nursing school at Hotel Dieu Hospital in New Orleans. On June 5, 1941, she married Julius Fernandez and assisted him in his practice. They made Franklin their home in 1949. She became First Lady of Franklin when her husband was elected mayor in 1967. She was devoted to the Church of the Assumption in Franklin and served its needs humbly by dedicating herself to many supportive roles. She never failed to take her turn with the Perpetual Adoration vigils at St. John's Chapel. She was active with the Altar Society and was a "Prayer Friend" for children making First Communion. The congregation enjoyed her strong voice from the pulpit when she served as a Mass reader, which she did well into her 80s. She also chauffeured many to Mass. While there is great sadness in her passing, many rejoice in the life she lived, the example she set, and the memories she left to all who knew her. Her family and friends are blessed by the love and kindness she showed. Many in Franklin remember fondly two enjoyable episodes: On the first Saturday of each month following Mass, a group of 10 ladies would meet at McDonald's for breakfast to discuss and solve the problems of the world and more importantly, local politics. Everyone in Franklin knew of her surprise party for her 80th birthday, and the party is regarded as the only secret that everybody knew about but Te Mae. The family wishes to express special thanks to her loving caregivers: Louise Rogers, Annie Boudreaux, Connie Burrell, Marie Verdun and Northa Holmes. The family requests that memorials be made to the Church of the Assumption, 211 Iberia St., Franklin, LA 70538.

Corkran was buried Tuesday, just three months after Falgout's death. ========== A photo is available for this file.

Now the girls -- 6-year-old Lori and 8-year-old Sarah -- are orphans, and a love story that started when childhood friends -- Alyce Marie Corkran and Chad Falgout -- grew up to become adult sweethearts has come to a tragic end. Alyce, 32, died Friday after a months-long battle with cancer. Her husband, 34- year-old Chad Falgout, died Dec. 19, the victim of a stroke suffered just days after he learned his wife was terminally ill. The couple's deaths -- separated by just three months -- have left their close knit families reeling with grief and the sincere belief that the pair simply couldn't bear to be apart. Asked to detail the couple's story, the family explains the two had always known each other. In the beginning, they were just friends. As a young girl, Alyce spent countless hours at the Falgouts' home in Cut Off, playing with dolls and doing all the other stuff that little girls do. As Alyce grew, so too did Chad's interest in her. As teenagers, the two got to be close, largely because they shared a playful sense of humor. "She couldn't be around him two minutes without laughing," said Alyce's sister, Wanda Plaisance. She was 18 and he was 20 when they announced their romance, but they didn't stay together very long. They separated and -- during the year or so they spent apart -- Alyce moved away from south Lafourche to take computer classes. But they reunited, moving to Galliano where they eventually made their home. Alyce was pregnant by then, and daughter Sarah joined their family months later. Lori was born in 1999, a child who would come to share her father's love for music. Though just barely big enough to hold the instrument, Chad was already teaching Lori to play the guitar. The couple never formally married, Plaisance said, but were so happy they considered the ceremony a mere technicality. They considered themselves husband and wife. Alyce's mother, Louella Dardar, said Chad was a talented carpenter, but he made his living working on an offshore supply boat. It was a job that took him away from his family for weeks and sometimes months. He recognized that the job provided the money he needed to take care of Alyce and the girls, Dardar said, but he sometimes missed them so much he couldn't sleep. Just hours after Alyce was laid to rest, Dardar smiled as she remembered the love letter her daughter sent Chad one time and how he would read and re-read it before falling into restful sleep. On the occasions when he did get to come home, the children always begged to go swimming. So Chad would reserve a room at a local motel so they could splash in the pool to their hearts content. "He was the best daddy in the world," Dardar said, "And she was the type who could handle anything." Their lives were turned upside down in November, just after Thanksgiving, when Alyce, who was experiencing back pains, went to the doctor. The diagnosis was colon and liver cancer, and the outlook was bad. The virility of the disease in someone so young is rare, doctors said. Although the family contacted renowned cancer facilities around the country, they were told that further treatment would be futile, and she remained in a hospital in Opelousas. Alyce knew her time was limited but was comforted by the belief that Chad loved the children so much that he would surely take good care of them, Dardar said. But Chad died from a stroke just four days after Corkran's diagnosis. Although a friend offered to helicopter Alyce to Cut Off for Chad's funeral, she didn't go because she was too sick to withstand the three-hour trip. She never saw his hammer-and-guitar decorated tombstone, though the girls did. They accompanied Corkran's parents to the burial. It was only after she lost Chad that Alyce cried, Dardar said. The strong-willed woman said she would accept God's will, but she didn't want to stay in bed and wait to die. Corkran was moved to her sister's home where she spent her final days. The doctors gave her morphine to dull the pain, but she rationed doses, preferring to be with her children and take care of them as long as she could. It was during that time that she wrote a will, a move that would ensure the girls could stay with Plaisance. Her final outing came just days before her death. Alyce wanted to see the Church Point home where she, Chad and their children had lived. Plaisance and her husband, Raleigh, bundled her into the car for a last visit. She slept all the next day and died soon afterward. She was buried Tuesday next to Chad in Cheramie Cemetery in Galliano. Plaisance's family has suffered trials of their own. Their mobile home caught fire around the time last fall's hurricanes hit, and it was flooded by Katrina. For a time, the family lived in Raleigh Plaisance's one-room music studio and took showers on the deck. Wanda Plaisance gave birth to her fourth child in December, just before Alyce learned she had cancer and Chad died. Now, faced with raising her two nieces along with her brood, Plaisance remains resolute in her determination to care for all six children. She and her husband are saving to build an addition onto their home and have already purchased a larger vehicle to ferry everyone around. The family is determined to make the best of a tragic set of circumstances, though they do admit that it's tough to cope at times. Alyce and Chad were so in love, and they adored their daughters. Dardar seemed to speak for the two families when she said wistfully, "I would have loved to see them grow old together." ======================== March 15. 2006 2:47PM Lucille Morgan Lucille Morgan, 64, a native of Houma and resident of Gray, died at 12:15 p.m. Sunday, March 12, 2006.

The two were crossing Prospect Boulevard at the bottom of the east side of the bridge, in the Coteau community of Terrebonne Parish, around 7 p.m. said State Trooper Rodney Hyatt.

A black 1993 Chevrolet truck, driven by Houma resident Christopher Porche, 41, was headed east when he struck Hennegan in the left lane of Prospect Street, police said. A maroon 1993 Lincoln Town Car, driven by Druella Williams, 61, of Raceland, hit Allen, Hyatt said. Routine blood-alcohol tests showed neither driver had been drinking. Blood- alcohol tests were given to Hennegan and Allen, but results are still pending. No charges have been filed against Porche and Williams, police said, but an investigation is ongoing. Eastbound traffic on Prospect Boulevard was blocked for at least an hour as police and emergency workers responded. ======================== March 16. 2006 1:05PM Leotha Jones Picture ========== A photo is available for this file.
