Mary teasingly referred to herself as "Whip Appeal" because she was full of life and a jokester. She was a devout Catholic who trusted God whole-heartedly. Nothing meant more to Mary than her family, whom she loved unconditionally.
Her family and friends will miss her sense of humor and love she showed to all of them.
She is survived by her companion, Ulysses Batiste; her son, Lennis Prejean; daughters, Rashawnda Prejean and Chantelle Prejean; and her grandchildren Don' Travin Batiste and Javon Batiste.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Gabriel and Ruby Alexander Broussard; her brothers, Percy, Leroy, Daniel, and Harold Broussard; and her sisters, Peggy Broussard and Elsie Gary.
Pallbearers will be Devin Arceneaux, Lavin Auzenne, Andre' Broussard, Harold Broussard, James Broussard, Troy Broussard, Keithan Cormier, and Nathan Gary.
Honorary pallbearers will be Lennis Prejean, Cameron Houston, Ulysses Batiste, Russell Auzenne, Nedley Gary, and Joseph Sam.
Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge, 211 Berard St., Breaux Bridge, Louisiana 70517, (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements.
