Opalmae "Patsy" Gaile Hubert

Opalmae (Patsy) Gaile Hubert died peacefully on Friday, August 28, 2020 just 3 days shy of the 5th anniversary of her husband’s death.
Born June 25, 1933 to Hattie Coulon Gaile and Jacob Thomas Gaile of Gretna, LA, she was a graduate of Holy Name of Mary School in Algiers, LA where she served as Drum Majorette. She was married for 63 years to the love of her life, Howe (Bubby) Hubert, Jr. and together they raised 4 children: Michell Hubert Smith (Bobby) of Baton Rouge; Carolyn Hubert Howard (Buzz) of Madison, MS; Julie Hubert Couvillion (Randy) of Gretna and Howe Hubert III (Margaret) of Gretna.
Patsy is preceded in death by her beloved husband Howe Hubert, Jr, her sister Janeth Gaile Lachmann and a multitude of her dear friends.
Rest assured that Heaven is a little livelier these days as Patsy is probably reuniting her Tuesday night Po-Ke-No Club for a couple of games and lots of laughs. These ladies maintained a Tuesday night gathering every other week for over 60 years!
Patsy leaves behind ten grandchildren: Robert Smith, Jr. (Amy); Michael Smith (Stacey); Christopher Howard (Lilly); Abby Howard Haydel (Kristopher); John Howard; Brandon Couvillion (Nikki); Daniel Couvillion; Cameron Couvillion; Jacob Hubert (Kelly); Joshua Hubert. She was also blessed with 12 great-grandchildren and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Patsy was always full of spunk and sass and could always be counted on to liven up any party or gathering with a song or a dance or some kind of shenanigans. She loved to laugh and to make others laugh as well! She was a die-hard Saints fan to the very end and delighted in cheering on “her boys” regardless of their W/L record in any given season! WHO DAT!!
Though she was in declining health in recent years, she continued to enjoy family and friends and she truly kept her children on their toes. She will be missed by many and remembered fondly by all who were fortunate enough to know her quick wit and caring, giving nature. Due to the COVID Pandemic attendees are limited to 50 persons.
