Maw Maw Byrdie peacefully slipped away from us on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011, at Ascension Oaks Nursing Center. She was 88 and fought the good fight for a long time. Her spirit was strong, but her body had weakened. She will be sorely missed by friends and family, but not forgotten. We are blessed with many Maw Maw Byrdie stories that will keep her memory alive for years to come. She was a resident of Dutchtown who loved LSU football, the Saints, Atlanta Braves baseball and a good chicken gumbo.
