Arleen “Nana” Berthelot Brignac

Arleen “Nana” Berthelot Brignac passed away at her home on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at the age of 84. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She modeled Christ through unconditional love and forgiveness.

She most enjoyed going deeper in her faith, cooking meals for her family to gather around, and talking on the phone with those she loved. You could also find her scrolling Facebook, having a little fun at the casino, and watching tennis as her and her sister loved to do. Her and Pampie loved to travel together, keep up with news and play rummy while bird watching in their beautiful backyard. She took the most pride in creating a beautiful home where she gathered people over the years and made everyone feel like family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raoul Joseph Berthelot, Sr. and Winifred Ruth Berthelot; great-grandchild, Bodie Devall; and her sister, Theresa Oubre.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, whom she met in 8th grade, John “Pampie” Emmett Brignac; daughters, Meredith Brignac Landry (Jason) and Allison Brignac Wooten (Ryan); sons, Dean Michael Brignac (Traci) and Remi Paul Brignac (Chris); grandchildren, Brittany Devall (Blake), Lauryn Robinson (John Michael), Brennon Brignac (Beth), Emily Arnold, Brooke Lowenkron (Ben), Beau Brignac (Hannah), Brohn Brignac, Anna Wooten, Luke Immasche, and Jake Wooten; great-grandchildren, Bristol Devall, Harper Lowenkron, Baker Devall, Finley Arnold, Wesley Robinson, John Emmett Brignac III, Rex Arnold, Cooper Brignac, Ellie Arnold, Logan Lowenkron, Mollie Robinson, Garrett Landry (Bridgit), Peyton Landry, and two on the way; sisters, Winnie Gilbert and Melinda Becnel; and brother, Raoul Berthelot.
