Elroy was born February 3, 1951 in DeQuincy, LA and passed away on January 21, 2021 in Shreveport, LA at the age of 69. He worked as a logger for 50 years and was an active deacon at Cooper Baptist Church. For many years, Elroy fought several health problems. He never complained, and when he was very sick he would say, “Just get me to the woods and I’ll be alright.” He had a big heart and always put others before himself. Elroy enjoyed fishing and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. His faith and family were the most important things to him. Elroy was preceded in death by his parents, Amerson Joseph Treme and Mildred Berry Treme; niece, Shann “Smoo” Treme; and nephew, Jared McDaniel.
