Elsie Marie Gremillion Wyble

Elsie Marie Gremillion Wyble passed away March 12, 2021, in Hammond, Louisiana. Elsie was born to Aris Gremillion on October 4, 1941, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was united in marriage to Alfred L. Wyble, Jr. on April 20, 1963, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Elsie grew up in Bay Hills and graduated from Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Louisiana, in 1959. She met her husband, Alfred, while working at the Louisiana Creamery in Baton Rouge.

Elsie was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She served as a room mother for both her sons for several years and was also a Boy Scout den mother in Baker, Louisiana. When her sons were older, Elsie went to work at the Baton Rouge Zoo. She attended as many of her grandchildren’s functions as possible while her health allowed. Elsie had an adventurous spirit. In her lifetime she hiked up a waterfall, went on several cruises, discovered new sights in many states, took helicopter tours, and flew in a small plane piloted by her son. She enjoyed bowling, playing Pokeno, making ceramics, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends. She was a fantastic cook. It’s impossible to sum up Elsie’s life in a few words on a page. She was deeply loved and will be forever missed.

Elsie is survived by her husband, Alfred, of 57 years; sons Richard (wife Tammy) and Steve (wife Miriam); treasured grandchildren, Jordan and Julia, and a host of other family and friends whom she dearly loved. She was proceeded in death by her mother, Aris Gremillion, and her brother, Weldon Dubroc.
