Geraldine Marie Jagneaux LaFleur

Geraldine Marie Jagneaux LaFleur, 69, a resident of Berwick, passed away Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at her home.

Geraldine was born on June 23, 1950 in Chataignier, Louisiana the daughter of John Jagneaux and Lour Vasseur Jagneaux.

“Gerr Bear” as she was affectionately known to her family, was a one of a kind woman, who was tough as bricks with a beautiful soul and dedicated to her family. She was always a hard worker, working as a meat cutter for Krogers, retiring after 20 years of service. After retiring she loved what she did and was very proud to be a meat cutter so she went back to work at Cannata’s for a few years. When she wasn’t working, spending time with her family was important to her, but spending time with her grandchildren was what she really looked forward to. She would cook Sunday dinner for her family each week and everyone loved it when she made her famous gumbo. When not working or spending time with her family she enjoyed playing bingo, sewing and listening to her Cajun French music.
