- Alberta "Toot" Sonnier
SCOTT - Alberta Sonnier passed away on Sunday, November 27, 2011. She lived with cerebral palsy for 83 years, but with a spirit that belied her struggle.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at an 11:00 AM Mass of Christian Burial in Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Scott. Entombment will be in Sts. Peter & Paul Mausoleum in Scott. Reverend Gilbert Dutel, Pastor of St. Edmond Catholic Church in Lafayette, will be the Celebrant of the Funeral Mass and will conduct the funeral services. Sharee Hunter, organist and soloist, will sing "Be Not Afraid", "Surely The Presence", "Come To The Water" and "The Old Rugged Cross" for the services.

Alberta graduated from Scott High School in 1950 and belonged to the Ladies Altar Society. Her greatest pleasure was being with friends and family. If a bourre game was planned, that was even better. She will be dearly missed by her family, friends and all who knew and loved her.
