Mary Jane Fontenot was born on May 2, 1929 in Te Mamou, LA to Alexi and Valentine Ryder Daigle. She was the advocate of the family. She worried about everyone and cared for others more than herself. Mary faithfully prayed the Rosary for her family members multiple times a day. She enjoyed a good cup of black coffee and loved Bingo. Going out to eat was one of her favorite things to do. She was the Cafeteria Manager at the Prairie Manor Nursing Home. Mary will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Sandra Fontenot Gautreaux and husband Eddie of Duson; son, Robert Fontenot of Chicot; grandchildren, Kevin Gautreaux, Jessica Fontenot, Scott Fontenot, Dylan Fontenot, and Damian Fontenot; and great grandchildren, Ian, Jordan, and Jake.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd Fontenot; parents, Alexi and Valentine Daigle; sons, Carmen Fontenot and James Fontenot; brother, Jimmy Ryder; and sister, Marine Chapman.
