Lydia May Hebert

                Psalm 37:29 says, “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it."

Lydia May Hebert, a loved mother and cherished grandmother, passed away peacefully at 2:12 AM on Sunday, December 22, 2024, surrounded by her family in Maurice, LA. Born on January 7, 1947, in Abbeville, she lived a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her God and family, despite facing her share of challenges.

Family and friends are encouraged to remember their memories with her and celebrate her beautiful spirit and the love she so generously gave to all.

Lydia was a true caregiver at heart, dedicating her life to helping others in her ministry and her work with home health. She had an infectious personality that could light up a room and a wonderful sense of humor that brought joy to everyone around her. Her family meant the world to her, especially her two grandchildren, Destiné and Joshua, whom she adored deeply. In fact, she was the one who proudly chose her grandson's name.

Lydia's love for gardening was well-known: she spent countless hours tending to her flower beds, enjoying the beauty of creation like butterflies, dragonflies, and hummingbirds in her yard. She was a God-fearing woman who wanted nothing more than for her family and friends to know the truth about her Creator, Jehovah God.

She is survived by her daughter, Rachel Trahan Green; grandchildren, Destiné Jade Trahan and Joshua Dakota Sias; best friend, Sable Vaughn; sisters-in-law, Laura G. Hebert and Joyce Hebert; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Lydia was preceded in death by her parents, Ignace Hebert, Sr. and the former Clementine Hebert; husband, Elray J. Trahan; five siblings, Ignace Hebert, Jr., Victor Hebert, Dudley Hebert, Louis Hebert, and Olite Breaux; and three stillborn daughters, Natalie, Audrey, and Baby Trahan.

Lydia will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Special thanks go out to the wonderful staff at Maison du Monde (Abbeville), Pelican Pointe (Maurice), and Traditions Hospice, especially Katie, Erica, Reese, Alicia, Julie, and everyone else who touched her life during her final days.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Vincent Funeral Home 209 S. Saint Charles St. Abbeville, LA
