Mabel Dezego Thibodeaux passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 12th, 2026, at the age of 88. She was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 10th, 1938, to the late Ethel and William Dezego.

She is the loving wife of Aubrey “Spike” Thibodeaux, Jr.; the mother of Tiffany Ballow (Shane); and the grandmother of Anson Ballow, Josh Ballow (Elaina), and Ian Ballow. She is the sister of the late Rita Dezego and Florence Wolf. She is also survived by her nieces, nephews, cousins, and wonderful lifelong friends.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, and proud resident of Belle Chasse for over 20 years.

Mabel was loving, compassionate, and most of all a very caring person to all. She was a member of Preceptor Alpha Beta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi International Women's Sorority for 17 years. She served on many committees over the years, and as Corresponding Secretary several times. Mabel gave generously of her time and heart to her community. She served for many years on the Board of the Jo Ellen Smith Auxiliary, including two terms as its President, and she volunteered faithfully at both Jo Ellen Smith and Meadowcrest hospitals. Mabel also treasured time spent with friends, and she delighted in sharing lunches and laughter with fellow members of the Red Hat Ladies. She also served as a Minister of Communion at Christ the King Church.

Mabel was unique and irreplaceable, well respected and liked, and will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her spirit and tender nature will remain in the many memories of her cherished friends and family until they meet her again.

The family expresses their deepest gratitude to the outstanding care provided by Compassus Hospice.
