Lorraine was born in Dutchtown, a neighborhood of Prairieville, LA and moved with her family to Catahoula when she was young, attending school in St. Martinville.

She then married the love of her life, Allen Usie, in 1951 and made her home in Breaux Bridge. She was a cherished matriarch who dedicated her life to her family.

Lorraine was a self-employed seamstress known for her exceptional skills and passion for her work. Throughout her life, she enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought her joy - whether it was cast netting, crabbing, fishing, playing Bingo or Pokeno with friends, or frequenting the casino. A lover of travel, Lorraine explored many places and created countless memories along the way.

She is survived by her children: Mike (Joy) Usie, Rachael (Mike) Simon, Perry Usie and Kelly (Sherry) Usie; sister: Evelyn "Boobie" Boudreaux; grandchildren: Ian Usie, Clint (Jen) Simon , Dr. Crystal (James Bynum) Simon, Jillyn (Brian) Sheppard, Kody (Ashley) Usie, and Kollin (Kinsley) Usie; step grandchildren: Greg (Dr. Melissa/Missy) and John Hebert; great grandchildren: Ivy Halliday and Sadie Lorraine Simon; Trenton Kade, Aiden Allen, Emra Iris and Bray Allen Usie; and step great grandchildren: Avery and Micah Hebert.

She is preceded in death by her husband: Allen Usie; parents: Joseph Sidney and Lillian Guidry Broussard; her brother: Ray Broussard; and daughter-in-law: Judy Usie.

Pallbearers will be Kelly, Kody, Kollin and Ian Usie, Clint Simon and James (J.B.) Bynum. Honorary Pallbearers are Mike and Perry Usie and Mike Simon.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all her caregivers: Delores Babineaux, Suzette Antoine, Jeanette Tate, Linda Alexander, Liz Joe and Diane Alexander.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston St., Ste 200, Lafayette, LA 70501, a nonprofit organization, in her honor.
