Nicole Podevin Strother

Nicole was born on March 10, 1934, in France to the union of Marc Podevin and Suzanne Guillaume Podevin. She met her husband, Eddy Strother Sr, while he was serving in the United States Army in France. They married and returned to the US. Nicole was pre-deceased by her husband, Eddy Strother Sr, and two daughters, Cathy Fuselier and Michelle Strother and a great grandson. She was also pre-deceased by two sons-in-law, Weber (Diddie) Parent and Ronald Fontenot. She is survived by her children: Christine Fontenot, Eddy Strother Jr (Carolyn), Barbara Parent, Marc Strother (Sandy), and Phillip Strother (Rhonda). She is also survived by 11 grandchildren: John Hollier, Brooke Hollier Mayeaux, Clint Strother, Will Strother, Guy Parent, Brian Parent, Dustin Parent, Cori Strother Reppond and Jenny Strother. Nicole is also survived by fifteen great-grandchildren, her niece Danielle in France, a brother-in-law, several sisters-in-law, and many other nieces and nephews. She lived in Glenmora with her son, Eddy, for the last 7 ½ years and enjoyed going to the Senior Citizen Center there to meet with her friends for lunch and play Bingo. Nicole’s greatest pride was taking and passing the United States citizenship test to become an official US citizen. She even had a shirt that said, ‘French by birth, American by choice’. During her working years she helped tutor students in Oakdale High with their French class and also was an Administrative Assistant at Offshore Logistics until her retirement. The family would like to thank the staff of Brighton Bridge Hospice for the excellent care they provided to Nicole – especially Kim, Brook, Anna, and Loretta. The whole team did everything to make sure she was taken care of and loved at home and then in the nursing home. The family would also like to thank the staff of St. Frances Nursing Home in Oberlin – they took care of Nicole for the last 9 months of her life and she loved it there. She attended all the activities and loved going to visit the other residents and visitors. A special thanks goes to Dr. Thomas Davis and Emily Sangid, NP for their care and support throughout Nicole’s 7 ½ years living in Glenmora. They did everything possible to take care of Nicole while at home and while in St. Frances Nursing Home. Nicole’s wishes were to have donations made in her behalf either to the Alzheimer’s Foundation or to St. Jude Children Research Hospital.
