Patrick Keith Lemoine, 80, of Central, Louisiana, passed away on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. Pat was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend to many. He was born in 1942 in Simmesport, Louisiana, the youngest of five children. He worked as a machine operator at Crown Zellerbach paper mill for 40 years and served as vice president of the paper mill workers union for 25 years.
