Carolyn LaFleur Caillouet, 78, passed away on Wednesday, May 10, at her home in Sunset, surrounded by family. Mrs. Caillouet was born in Opelousas and graduated from Opelousas High School in 1955. She obtained a degree in education from SLI, now UL at Lafayette, in 1959 and later married her high school sweetheart, James T. "Bubsy" Caillouet. Carolyn taught school for 15 years in St. Landry Parish and then opened a ladies' dress shop, Village Armoire, in Opelousas. She always said the shop was necessary as she and Bubsy raised 5 beautiful daughters. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, heirloom sewing and playing bridge. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends at their camp in Grand Isle, where she loved to fish.

Mrs. Caillouet is survived by her husband of 57 years, James T. "Bubsy" Caillouet; daughter, Lisa C. Lariviere, her husband John; daughter, Christine C. Thistlethwaite, her husband Scott; daughter, Julie Caillouet; daughter, Annie C. Bourque, her husband Huey; daughter, Emily C. Batton, her husband Rick; grandchildren: Camille Lariviere, Claire Lariviere, Scott Thistlethwaite, Ross Thistlethwaite, Charlie Thistlethwaite, Jay Bourque, Eric Bourque, Hannah Bourque, Audrey Batton, Olivia Batton, and J.P. Batton; great-granddaughter, Charlotte Bourque; and sister, Anne L. Padgett.

Mrs. Caillouet was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Helena LaFleur.

The family would like to extend a very special thanks to Phyllis Francis and Debra Morgan.
