Wildria Fay Hay Fuselier
Wildria Fay Hay Fuselier, 95, passed away peacefully at home in Fenton, La. on the very land where she was born. She was the only child of Alton and Kate Peloquin Hay, born Sept. 2, 1929. Fay graduated from Fenton High School and Mathieu Business College. She worked for United Gas Pipe Line for four years then married her beloved friend Morris Fuselier Jr. 'Choty.' They were married for 55 years and were blessed with a very large family filled with 'love, laughter and prayer.' She took great pride in being called 'Granny' by all her children, grandchildren and their friends, and she was a special lady to all who met her. Fay worked as a secretary/bookkeeper at Boys Village for four years and at Iowa High School for 35 years and helped with every sport, club and event. She enjoyed working with children, people watching, reading and taking car rides.
Fay is preceded in death by her husband, Morris 'Choty,' and her parents.
She is survived by her five children, Morris 'Moe' Fuselier III of Lancaster, Calif., James Alton 'Jimbo' Fuselier (Janet) of Waiheiwa, Hawaii, Mary 'Melissa' Murphy ('my angel') of Iowa, La., John Hayden Fuselier (David) of Houston, Texas, and Jared Francis Fuselier (Natalie) of Iowa. Also, in-laws, Robyn Fuselier, Stacie Ardoin, and Joe Murphy; her seven grandchildren, Hayden Fuselier, Janee Fuselier, Jalee Kate Fuselier Palompo (Mark), Justin Murphy (Melissa 'Cricket'), Jodi Lynn Murphy Guillory (Shannon), Kalee Fuselier Hebert (Nelson), and Hilary Joseph Fuselier, and her 12 great-grandchildren.
Granny's reminder to us, 'If you love someone enough you can still hear the laughter when they're gone.'
