Wayne Jude Oubre

November 21, 1939 — May 3, 2020

Wayne Jude Oubre, born in Vacherie, LA and lifelong resident of Harvey, LA, entered peacefully into Heaven on Sunday, May 3, 2020, at age 80. Wayne was a parishioner of St. Rosalie Catholic Church, Harvey, LA. He is survived by his devoted wife, Rosalie Miller Oubre of 56 years. Loving father of Wanda Guidry (Dwayne), Wendi Bowman (Edward, Jr.), and Wayne “Butch” Oubre, Jr. (Margaret). Proud grandfather of Steven Crawford, Jr. (ReBecca), Amber Crawford (Michail), Kristeena Bowman (Dalton), Katelynn Bowman, Kelli Bowman and Dustin Oubre. An honored great-grandfather of Haylee, Tyler, Chandler, Macie and Raegan Crawford and Embree (Benoit), Bentley and Emily Martin, Kylee Stodard, and Carson Bowman Stewart. Son of the late Calvin “Pops” Oubre of Vacherie, LA and Helena (Tauzin) Oubre of Chackbay, LA. Brother of Kerry Oubre (Ida) and Kenneth Oubre (Sharron). He is also survived by numerous loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who have become family, who will miss him dearly. He was full of life and left a lasting impression on every person he had the pleasure of meeting. He was an honored American, who loved his Country and served in the U.S. Army National Guard, in the 159TH EVAC HOSPITAL, as a proud Chaplain Assistant to Chaplain Allen Roy. One of his greatest pleasures was watching his Saints and LSU play; he never missed a game and if he wasn’t home when they played he recorded the game and watched it when he returned home. He was a #1 Saints Fan since the beginning and cried with joy the day they won Superbowl XLIV. He was the epitome of a Good Samaritan. He gave himself endlessly and his reward was simply the satisfaction of seeing others smile. He was an officer of Kings Grant Playground (Marrero, LA) for several years, and one of many who helped build the playground into what it is today. He watched three generations grow-up in Kings Grant, playing all sports and he even coached quite a few. His favorite sport, of course, was baseball. For three generations he never missed a game, God willing. Everyone knew who he was and
you could hear him cheering his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on from the stands or side of the field. Some of his favorite pastimes were spending quality time with his family, and friends. There wasn’t a family event that he wasn’t present for, including thirty
years of dance recitals. Most of all, what was dearest to his heart was the family he created with his loving wife, Rosalie. There wasn’t a sacrifice he wouldn’t make to ensure they were protected and happy. He left behind fifty-six years of love and memories with them; and
while his family and friends miss him dearly, they are at peace knowing he is in Heaven, joined by family and friends of his past, and looking down and watching over each of us through the holes in the clouds and negotiating with God to make sure they are still cared for
from Heaven the way he cared for them on Earth. Family and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Mass at St. Rosalie Catholic Church,
