John Joseph Watermeier, Leo Anthony Watermeier and Ann Louise Watermeier. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Christopher Stone and Savannah Watermeier. She came from a large family that was exceptional for its religious vocations, education and strong and independent women. She was preceded in death by her parents, Valbon Scallan and Irma Laborde. and by 9 of her 10 siblings, her sisters Olange (Sister Aloysius, D.C.), Anaise, Rhea, Judith, Agatha and Josephine, and her three brothers Leo, Emeric and Belton. She is survived by her sister Lucy, who is a member of the Daughters of the Cross religious order in Shreveport.
