Darlene Gaudet Talamo

With love and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Darlene Gaudet Talamo on June 15, 2024, at her home in Loranger, La. Born on January 16, 1939, in Lockport, La., to Percy and Emma Gaudet, Darlene's life was filled with love, family, and faith.

Darlene was the beloved wife of Leroy Talamo, devoted mother of Perry, Rhonda, and Todd Talamo, and mother-in-law to Rebecca Talamo. She was a cherished grandmother to Blakley Echeverry, Benjamin Talamo, Sara Ivanyisky, and Avery Talamo, and a proud great-grandmother to Miles Echeverry, Mollie Ivanyisky, Morgan Ivanyisky, Cassidy Talamo, and Olivia Talamo.

She is survived by her siblings Bud Gaudet, Betty Pousson, Sharon Culotta, and Butch Gaudet; extended family members Donald Bourgeois, Connie Palmer, Daniel Sallade, Lauren Talamo, Stephen Ivanyisky, and Paige Talamo-Germany; and caregivers Barry Bankston, Karen Williams, and Gloria Wilson. She joins her parents and sisters, Marlene Fazio, Donna Rae Territo, and Mary Farve, in heaven.

Rest in peace, dear Darlene. Your memory will always be a blessing.
