Larry Wayne LeJeune
Larry Wayne LeJeune was born on October 17, 1939 in Jennings, LA and passed away peacefully on September 28, 2016 at his home in Port Allen, LA. He was 76.
He was united in marriage to Treva Jewell Jackson on July 1, 1961 and was married to her for 36 years before her passing on November 23, 1997. Larry was fondly known in Vermillion Parish as a loving and kind nurse anesthetist whose nursing career spanned the breadth of the parish starting at Erath General Hospital in 1975. Additionally, he was the Director of Nursing at Morris Lahasky Nursing home in Erath, Hospital Administrator of Gueydan Memorial Hospital, and Director of Nursing/Nurse Anesthetist at Abrom Kaplan Memorial Hospital. He left Vermillion Parish in 1990 to further his career working across the State of Louisiana. After his wife’s passing in 1997, he continued to work PRN, mostly in Pensacola, Fl where he retired at the age of 71. His favorite semi-retirement position was at Disney World in Orlando, FL where he worked for 2 years as a train conductor and cast member bringing magic and joy to all.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Treva Jewell Jackson, his parents Howard and Leta Boullion LeJeune, and three brothers Jerrell, Darrell and Ronnie LeJeune. He is survived by his two loving daughters (and sons-in- law) Theresa Tracy (& Kevin) of Kansas City, MO and Tanya Suter (& James) of Port Allen, LA; four grandchildren Ian & Alyssa Tracy, and Olivia & Claire Suter; and one great-grandson Wyatt Tracy. He is also survived by one brother (and sister-in-law) Frank LeJeune (& Pat) of Crowley, TX, one brother-in-law Gary Edwards (and Yvonne) of Amity, AR, one sister-in-law Barb Woody (and BJ) of Laquey, MO, and one Goddaughter Sherry LeJeune of Burleson, Texas. Additionally, he leaves behind many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews, and beloved family and friends.
Larry requested no memorial or funeral services. His ashes will be buried next to his cherished wife Treva in Hartshorn, MO on November 26, 2016, nineteen years to the day she was laid to rest.
