Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted ~ Mathew 5:4

In her spirit of giving, she gave the best birthday present he could have ever wished for, Ella Rose Benoit, 94, of Big Lake, LA, went to join her husband Frank, on his birthday. She left this world to join God, our Heavenly Father on Monday, September 21, 2015 at 2:43 AM at Golden Age of Welsh.

Ella Rose was born March 16, 1921 in Welsh, LA to Gilmer and Adelaide Bertrand. She lived her married life with her husband, Frank, in Cameron before relocating to Big Lake in 2006 after Hurricane Rita. She was a member of Our Lady Star of the Sea and Saint Mary of the Lake Catholic Churches. She was a long time member of the Catholic Daughters. She held dear to her heart visits with her family and friends. She always offered a cup of coffee and something to eat to her guests and she turned off the TV so her full attention and conversation were given to you. It was well known to her friends and family that she was always ready to go and never missed a ride. Every day at 6:30 PM she watched Wheel of Fortune and she always enjoyed when the final puzzle was solved. Ella Rose could often be found with her beloved cat, Kitty, watching as the traffic passed on the highway as she prayed and said her Rosary.

She joins her parents; brothers, Murphy and Durphy; her husband of 64 years, Frank William Benoit; their daughter, Carol Ann; son, Gilmer Joseph; grandchildren, Taylor, Tira, Jaylon; and several angel babies; son-in-laws, James ?Butch? Conner and Louis Callahan who proceeded her in death.

Wife, mother, grandmother, great-grand mother, great great-grandmother, and friend you are greatly loved and will be sorely missed. Until we see you again, we know you will look down on us and we will keep you in our hearts forever.
WE LOVE YOU, Grandma Rose.
