Dorothy “Dottie” Bordelon Bourgeois passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, at the age of 81. Dottie was born on August 31, 1943, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Byron B. and Mary Oustalet Bordelon.

Dottie is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 43 years, Rollo Joseph Bourgeois, Jr., son Robert Joseph Bourgeois, sisters Marie B. Mayfield, Ruth B. Broussard, Mary B. Reggio, brothers Byron “Buddy” Bordelon, Jr. and Frank L. Bordelon and her parents.

Dottie leaves behind to cherish her memories her daughter Elizabeth B. Guzzardo (Doug), her four grandchildren, who lovingly called her Mimi: Laura E. Guzzardo, Anna M. Guzzardo, Stephen J. Guzzardo, and Mason Bourgeois (Simone), and her daughter-in-law Tiffany Bourgeois.

Dottie worked as an Administrative Assistant for Pendelton Memorial Hospital and Slidell Memorial Hospital. She loved spending time on the water going fishing with her husband and later on found a love for delivering meals with Meals on Wheels with the church. But most of all, she loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. She cherished the occasions when having sleepovers, making her famous chocolate chip cookies with her grandchildren, and going on shopping trips. Her grandchildren have always considered her their best friend.
