Fontenot was most happy when visiting with friends, family, and being surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was an amazing cook and “her” kitchen is where family gathered for stories, laughter and sneaking tastes of what was cooking in the Magnalite pot. She had been very active in the ladies’ golf associations as a member of Oakbourne Country Club, Le Triomphe Country Club and Acadian Hills Country Club, winning many tournaments and acquiring quite the crystal collection.
Fontenot is survived by her husband, Bernard L. Fontenot; sons, Billy and wife, Dianne, of Beaumont, Texas, Charlie and wife, Ginny of Pasadena, Texas, and Ronny and wife, Robbie, of Bridge City, Texas; daughter, Sandy Mikolajczyk and husband, Mike, of Fort Worth, Texas and son-in-law, Tim Sargent, and wife, Sandy, of Georgetown, Texas; sisters, Hazel Dardeau, of Gonzales, Joy Barreca and husband, Jo, of New Orleans; brother, Burke Pitre and wife, Barbara, of Ville Platte, 12 drandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.
Fontenot was preceded on in death by her parents, Oscar and Marie Pitre, brothers, Hosea, Howard, Leroy and Lionel Pitre, sisters, Thelma Pitre Tate, Vivian Pitre Soileau and Marie Pitre Perron and daughter Laura Fontenot Sargent
