Mrs. Theriot was a lifelong parishioner of St. Martin de Tours Roman Catholic Church, where she was a faithful adorer in the Chapel of Perpetual Adoration. She was a member of Martha's Guild, Catholic Daughters of America, and the A.A.R.P. Prior to her retirement she was employed by The Gary Company, Dupois Pharmacy, and Braud's Flower Shop. In her free time she enjoyed doing word search puzzles and reading. She was a fabulous seamstress who loved sewing, doing alterations and handwork for family and friends. She was a wonderful cook and looked forward to cooking for her family on any given occasion. Edna's favorite time of year was Christmas, in which she would do one of her most loved enjoyments, 'Baking' - she would bake for everyone and anyone; it brought her immense joy to share her sweet treats. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Wallace Theriot; her parents, Rodolph and Ada Bouligny Seiber; a daughter, Mary Theriot; one sister, Aimee S. Romero; and one brother, Henry Seiber. The family requests that visiting hours be observed from 11 a .m. until 9 p.m. on Sunday and continue on Monday at 7 a .m. until 10:30 a.m. A rosary will be recited by the Catholic Daughters at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
