Mrs. Picard was a native of the Meaux/Leroy community and had been a resident of Maurice for over 80 years.
Lucille was a housewife but also a proud partner with her husband Esson in their rice farming business. She was often seen riding with him checking the crops and their cattle. She was also known for the wonderful dinners she cooked for her family and for all those assisting in the harvesting of their crops.
Lucille was very active until November when she became ill. She played her weekly game of bouree until 103, a game she had been playing for 60 plus years.
She loved people and the love she showed to all her friends was genuine. Her love of family was her greatest joy and she was showered with love from her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She was a very devout Catholic and faithfully prayed the rosary several times daily.
She is survived by her three children, Delores P. Faulk, Phyllis P. Mautrin and Kenneth “Keno” Picard all of Maurice; her grandchildren, Cynthia F. Denais and her husband Dale, Michael Faulk and his wife Debra, Dexter Faulk and his wife Denise all of Maurice and Haley Mautrin of Johnson City, TN; eight great grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren and baby Meaux on the way in September of 2017.
