She also enjoyed doing a variety of crafts. She had several jobs during her lifetime. She enjoyed working at the Westwego Shrimp Lot, which she did for several years. Her favorite job was taking care of others, often putting them before herself. She spent several years caring for her special needs son and disabled husband all while battling and beating lung cancer. She loved being "MawMaw Shesha" and caring for and spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There will be no services. A memorial will be held at a later date. Her family wishes to sincerely thank Compassus Hospice Services for the wonderful care and support given, especially nurses Daniella and Gayle.
