Nell Marie Thomassie Bercegeay

Nell Marie Thomassie Bercegeay, born on February 22, 1936, in Saint Amant, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2026. Her long and full life was a source of inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Nell was a woman whose heart was as vibrant as her spirit. Deeply rooted in her Louisiana community, she was a cherished companion, a loving family member, and a steadfast friend. She delighted in the simple joys of life—camping under starlit skies, the excitement of bingo nights, gathering adored friends and family for games of cards, and attending church. Her devotion was equally evident in the careful rosaries she crafted by hand, the thrill she found in the rhythmic comfort of her favorite bands, and her younger years spent riding horses across open fields.

Nell was the loving daughter of Percy Thomassie and Isabelle Morvant, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also predeceased by her siblings Josie (Will) Brain, Jane (Alton) Rouyea, Charles Thomassie, and Perry Thomassie. Their memories have always been honored in her heart.

Each of them was touched by her generosity, guidance, and affection.
