Roma Nell was born on May 27, 1930, to Margie Fuller Walker and Louis Paul Walker. She graduated from Ruston High School in Ruston, LA in 1947, then attended Louisiana Tech. She was a huge college sports fan and was very involved with politics. In her spare time, she loved spending time with her family, either cooking for them or playing dominoes. If you knew her, you know she was a fantastic seamstress for many years. We will miss her deeply and will always cherish our memories of her.

Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Cherie (Emery) Dupuis, Denise (Larry) Daigle, Suzonne (Keith) Bourque and Deidre (Ron) Neuberg; her son, Charles (Jane) Delacroix; her grandchildren, Amie (Rob) Stassi, Emilie (Dan) Dial, Meg (Tessie) Simar, Ellen (Corey) Cormier, Sarah Daigle, Jamison (Andrea) Daigle, Alex DeLaCroix, Darren Delacroix, Katie (Jacob) Kerr, Hannah Bourque, George Holstead (Claudia) IV, Mary Kathryn (Carlos) Oyaga; great grandchildren, Ben Stassi, John Scott Stassi, Libby Stassi, Olivia Daigle, James Archer, Ellie Corrigan, and James Enrique Oyaga.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Paul DeLaCroix, Jr.; her parents; three sisters; and three brothers.

We are thankful to the caregivers who provided such excellent care: Sharon Spiers, Mary Cormier, Chanda St. Marie, and Wanda Courville.
