Doye Kibodeaux, 89 of Lake Charles was called Home on April 9, 2021.

She was born on July 28, 1931 to Murl and Valine Spell in Abbeville, LA and graduated from Indian Bayou High School.

Doye enjoyed the simplicity of life, spending time with her family is what brought her the most joy as she was dutiful and proud mother to her five children. She loved to travel, often loading the kids up and going on vacation to different states and the diamond mines in Arkansas. She loved listening to music, Elvis and Merle Haggard being her favorites. She cherished the memories she made when she traveled to see Elvis.  When at home she enjoyed playing cards, dominos, and watching her beloved Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.  She also enjoyed watching Wheel of Fortune and her morning soap operas.
