On July 10, 2019, Serida F. Beninate, age 93, entered eternal rest due to complications from surgery. She was born on January 30, 1926 and was a lifelong resident of Algiers, LA. She is survived by her 7 nieces and nephews; Cathey Saurage (Jerry), Patty Fritch (Charles), Peggy Headrick (Rodney), Steven Beninate, Michael Beninate, James Beninate (Traci), Christopher Beninate (Laura) and step niece, Brannon Gillies and 12 great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents John J. Beninate and Cynthia Boyle Beninate, her brothers, John V. Beninate, Jennings Beninate, and sister in law Yvonne Beninate.
Serida was a devoted daughter who lived and cared for her parents until their deaths. She was a very devout Catholic and led a life of a saint. She retired from NOPSI/Entergy after over 40 years of service. She will be remembered by those who loved her as a woman who devoted her life to God and her family, who was loyal, giving, and caring. Her moral standards and values were a shining example of her character and the lives that she touched. She enjoyed spending time with her family for seafood boils and beach trips to Pensacola. She loved traveling with her brother, in younger years going to Las Vegas , an avid sports fan in watching LSU and Saints football, golf and baseball. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude to St. Margaret’s at Mercy for their wonderful care.
A funeral service and interment will be private. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the charity of your choice in her name. Family and friends may view and sign the online guest book at
