William “Donnie” Ussery passed away on Thursday February 3,2022 after a brief battle with Covid. He was 77 years old. He leaves behind his loving and devoted wife of 56 years Gloria Nugent Ussery. He was the loving father of Lori Boudreaux (Chris), David Ussery (Fadra) and Dustin Ussery (Kristy). He was the proud PawPaw to Dylan Boudreaux (Britni), Tyler Boudreaux (Jasmine), Dawson and Maddie Ussery, Zoey and Gavin Ussery, Victoria Champagne (Darel), Victor and Veronica Garcia. He was the adoring great-grandfather to Harper and Sawyer Boudreaux, Briggs Boudreaux, Rori Dejean, Kinsley Babineaux, Kira, Carson and Harper Champagne and Elena Garcia. He also leaves behind two brothers which he had a special bond with, Ronny Ussery (Fran) and Tommie Ussery (Kathy) and a host of nieces and nephews whom he loved and cared for dearly. He is preceded in death by his parents Wilbon and Evelyn Ussery and a grandson William Ussery.
Donnie served in the Air National Guard and is retired from George Engine Co and Waterford III, a Division of Entergy. His free time was spent taking trips to the coast visiting the casinos and he loved playing the lottery. But his greatest enjoyment for as long as we can all remember was Tulane baseball, football, and basketball. Our life was planned around the Waves schedule. He was a true fan “Roll Wave”.
The family would like to thank the Dr’s and staff of Ochsner Westbank. Especially to the ICU nurses that took such wonderful care of our Hero, we are so grateful for every one of you.
Donnie will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
