Mindy's obituary

JEANERETTE—A Mass of Christian burial for Melinda “Mindy” Leah Leathem, 66, will be at 12:00pm noon Saturday, November 28, 2020, at St John the Baptist Church, 1510 Church St., Jeanerette, LA, with Father Peter Rogers, S.J. officiating. Internment will follow at Loisel Cemetery.

Visitation will be at David Funeral Home at 11am until service time.

Mindy was born in Ennis, Texas but moved to Jeanerette in 1958. She graduated Jeanerette High School in 1972. Afterwards, she studied nursing at USL. Mindy was a devoted mother and dedicated herself to caring for her family. Mindy had an adventurous spirit. She is known for her love of horses, and is remembered often for wearing a cowboy hat and a big smile, with sky blue eyes and the perfect wink.

Mindy longed to be reunited with her beloved twin brother Monte, as well as her brothers Mac & Mike, and her parents in a heavenly capacity. We are solaced that her ultimate wish has been fulfilled.

She passed away due to complications in surgery, but had long suffered from heart issues, after having survived a debilitating stroke that caused loss of speech three years ago.

She is survived by her two daughters, Renée Rogers Theriault, of Brooklyn, NY, and Jeanne L. Rogers of Lafayette, LA.

Mindy is preceded in death by Monte, her beloved twin bother whom she lost in 1972, her two older brothers Mac and Mike, late of this world since 1977, her father McKinley Bryant Leathem, her dear mother Cynthia Leathem, and John A. Rogers, her first husband and the father of her two children.

She was a friend to many and will be supremely missed.
