Millie was an amazing woman who had a great love for her Lord, husband, family and friends. She was a wife of 65 years to Clyde, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She was very hard-working from a young age. In her youth she worked in her Uncle's restaurant, hunted, trapped, and trawled with her father and brothers, and later her husband. Her mother taught her to cook and sew and she excelled at both.
She attained her GED, was Valedictorian of her class and her speech resides in the Valedictorian Book of Speeches in Washington DC. In her 20s she was a writer for the Lafourche Gazette. She was a hairdresser for 24 years.
She was an active and devout parishioner of Sacred Heart Church. She was President of the Ladies Altar Society for 20 years, taught religion class for 30 years, taught RCIA for 15 years, and was a Eucharistic Minister, Lecturer and Commentator. She, along with her husband, was recognized and awarded by Pope John Paul II for their lifetime of tireless work for the church. She also received the Bishop's Medal of Honor. She found joy in working for the Lord.
She was a talented artist, was a founding member of Les Artiste du Bayou and her home looked like an art gallery. She studied many techniques and mediums but was most well-known for painting oyster shells. Her artwork is literally all over the world.
She was a truly exceptional woman; warm hearted, fun-loving, admired and laved by so many. She will be greatly missed
Falgout Funeral Home is honored to serve the Gisclair family.
