Ouida Kennedy Troxler

Ouida Kennedy Troxler (Grammy), died peacefully on Saturday, January 11, 2020, just 6 days shy of her 100th birthday. She was an avid quilter, gardener and reader. She loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her great-grandchildren. She lived a life of kindess and love based on her strong Christian faith. She welcomed everyone into her life and into her heart with open arms. Our world is a little darker without her. She will be dearly missed by many.
Ouida was born on January 17, 1920 to the late Henry J. and Essie Fortenberry Kennedy and was married to the late Richard Joseph Troxler for 61 years. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Martha Nelwyn (Nell) Troxler Waldrop (Charles). She is survived by her daughter, Carolyn (Carrie) Rose Herbert (Robert), granddaughters Stacey Waldrop Duggan (Christopher), Kristin Waldrop Broussard (Sybil), Rebeccca Herbert, grandson Brett Waldrop (Alyson), great grandchildren Kennedy, Aiden, Benjamin, Lucas, Sawyer and Millie. She is further survived by her sister, Betty Carr, and brothers, Hershell Kennedy and Louie Kennedy.
Thank you to the staff at East Jefferson Hospital and Passages Hospice for the kind and compassionate care and to Ville Ste. Marie Senior Living Community for the friendship and care of the last three years.
