Bebeanna was born on September 11, 1928 in Cecilia. She led a life filled with love, service, and creativity.

Bebeanna was a dedicated parishioner of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and an active member of St. Anne's Organization. Her talents as a licensed beautician and seamstress brought joy to many. She lovingly crafted beautiful pieces for many Mardi Gras Associations and worked in decorating and upholstery. Her many talents also led her to handling alterations at JC Penny as well as serving as the Lead Cook in the former Northgate Mall location. Bebeanna also served as a Nanny for several families and was a custodian in the St. Martin Parish School System, always willing to lend a helping hand and volunteer her time to those in need. She was a great mother, grandmother, great, great-great, great-great-great grandmother, sister and friend to many. In honoring her memory, we remember Bebeanna as a pillar of strength, love, and community. May she rest in eternal peace.
