EUNICE~ With love, the family of Rosalind Anderson Chachere announces the passing of their beautiful mother in the comfort of her home with loving family by her side at the age of 98. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Eunice. Burial will follow in the St. Paul Cemetery with Monsignor Keith DeRouen, Celebrant.

    Rosalind was a devout, Catholic Christian. She lived a life of quiet dignity and grace, instilling in her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren a great love for God! Rosalind will always be remembered for her kind and generous heart, her closeness to the Holy Spirit in her scripture readings and daily devotionals. She valued family and lived her life with ease and grace! Our mother faithfully wrote letters of thanks and appreciation to everyone! Rosalind will always be remembered for her kindness and warm smile, a loving and positive spirit, and her genuine concern for others. She was a faithful past member of the St. Edward Catholic Church in Richard and present member of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Eunice. She married and raised her family of five children in the rural area of Prudhomme, near Eunice. One of her favorite joys later in life was visiting and serving friends. She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend and will be missed dearly by all who knew her especially her children, Lloyd E. Chachere and wife, Angelia of Scott, Cora Menard and husband, Clay of Eunice, Mary Joubert and husband, Charlie of Eunice, Linda Guilbeaux and husband, Johnny of Sulphur, and Cindy Hidalgo and husband, Chris of Oakbrook IL; thirteen grandchildren, Jeffery Menard, Andre’ Christine Menard, Jeanne Claire Elfert, Lloyd Everett Chachere, Blake Chachere, Jessica Miller, Heather Bearb, Courtney Bourgeois, Katie Mayeaux, Amy Felice, Alisha Landry, Stephanie Corkran, and Carley Hidalgo Bourgeois; thirty-two great grandchildren; as well as extended family and dear friends. Rosalind instilled in her children and family “the way to a happy life, is a thankful heart!” She often referred to one of her favorite scriptures “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24. Each day is a rich and precious gift from God with new grace and new opportunities.

     She is preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd E. Chachere, and parents, Albert William and Cora Hanley Anderson.
