Rose was born February 11, 1927, in Moreauville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, the sixth child of Henry J. LaCour and Lena Lemoine LaCour. Rose graduated from Moreauville High School then attended Charity Hospital School of Nursing in New Orleans. Rose married Stanford “Static” B. Gauthier on June 18, 1949, and after relocating in several small south Louisiana farming towns moved to Breaux Bridge in 1952 where Rose resided until her death.
Rose was involved in several school activities at St. Bernard School while Rose’s sons were students at St. Bernard including room mother, Cub Scout Pack Leader and chaperone/driver for numerous field trips. During those school years Rose also loved to take the boys (and Rose) and their friends fishing at Lake Martin and Al Grace’s camp in Henderson, neither of which were the same after Rose’s fishing trips.
Rose is survived by her two sons, Stanford B. Gauthier II and wife Mary “Bruci” Broussard Gauthier and Peter G. Gauthier and former wife Deborah Guidry Gauthier, all of Breaux Bridge. Rose is also survived by her three grandchildren, Danielle Gauthier Foreman and husband Scott Aaron Foreman of Lafayette and their children, Reese Taylor Foreman and Graham Matthew Foreman, Andre Paul Gauthier and wife Lori Dupont Gauthier of Bixby, Oklahoma, and their child, Ian Paul Gauthier, and Jacob Paul Gauthier of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.
