Sanford Broussard

Sanford Jude Broussard, born April 16, 1938, a native of Duson, LA and a 52 year resident of Baton Rouge, LA, passed away peacefully at home with his family at his side on January 7, 2017.

Sanford graduated from Judice High School and served in the United States Army in the 531st Transportation Division in Fort Riley, KS. He was a Co-Owner of Industrial Electric Motor Service for 30 years. After his retirement in 2006, he enjoyed being outdoors, gardening, traveling and attending Catholic High School football games. But most of all we remember his quick witted sense of humor.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Nellie; his four sons, Stuart Broussard and wife Julie, Darren Broussard and wife Alicia, Craig Broussard and Ryan Broussard; his siblings, Warren Broussard and wife Joan, Emma Broussard and Jeanette Touchet and husband Mike; his grandchildren, Courtney B. Courtney and husband Landon, Steven Broussard, Matthew Broussard and Tori Tranchina; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Sanford is preceded in death by his parents, Nathan and Beauta Broussard; his sister, Etta Gauthier and his brother, Clifford Broussard.
