Nedia O'Brien Hebert Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 13, 2017.

NEW IBERIA – A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Mrs. Nedia O'Brien Doumit Hebert, age 86, at 10:00 am Friday, March 17, 2017 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. Fr. William Melancon will be the celebrant, with Fr. Barry Crochet as con-celebrant. She will be laid to rest at Memorial Park Cemetery immediately after the Mass, with her son, Deacon Christopher Doumit officiating at the gravesite.

A gathering of family and friends will be held at Evangeline Funeral Home of New Iberia on Thursday from 4:30 pm until 9:00 pm, with the Catholic Daughters leading the Rosary at 6:30 pm. Visiting hours will resume on Friday from 8:00 am until 9:30 am.

Nedia was born January 16, 1931 in Iberia Parish to the late John O'Brien, Jr. and Amelia Prince O'Brien, and passed away Saturday, March 11, 2017 at her residence, with her family at her side.

Mrs. Nedia, was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who lived a life devoted to her family and to the wellbeing of others. Along with raising a large family, she still found time to volunteer her services in helping those less fortunate. She spent countless hours at the Social Service Center and at the St. Francis Diner feeding the hungry. One of her greatest pastimes was quilting. Every one of her children and grandchildren were given a quilt made with her own hands, and she even let them pick the pattern they wanted. She also enjoyed ceramics and owned a store in New Iberia at one time. But it was her family that was most important to her. She leaves a legacy of love and many fond memories that will forever be cherished by all who knew and loved her. Rest in peace dear Nedia.

Survivors include her children, Freddie Doumit, Jr. and Wife Kathy, Christopher Doumit and Wife Donna, Mary Doumit Barrilleaux and husband Sidney, Steven Doumit and wife Lori, Phillip Doumit and wife Tammy, and John Doumit; her Step-Children, Debra Hebert Blackwell and husband Johnny, Edwin Hebert, Sr and wife Stephanie, Tommy Hebert and wife Debbie, Darrell Hebert and wife Kim, Wanda Hebert Fontenot and husband R.J., Mark Hebert and wife Terrie, Cindy Hebert Faughn and husband Kevin, Janet Hebert Smith and husband Terry, and Daughter-in-law-Rena Hebert; 47 grandchildren, all of whom she adored, Angela Doumit Moneaux, Brett Doumit, Vance Doumit, Jovelle Blackwell, Chad Segura, Chuck Segura, Doris Hebert Scroggs, Edwin Hebert, Jr., Holly Hebert Davis, Chanell Hebert, Demorick Wesson, Amanda Doumit Landry, David Doumit, Kristin Hebert Veit, Cody Hebert, Ashley Barrilleaux Floris, Matthew Barrilleaux, Tara Hebert Harwell, Tiffanie Hebert Kaiser, Amber Hebert Prince, Brandi Charpentier, Shea Breaux, Gabrielle Breaux, Brock Hebert, Ryan Hebert, Tyler Hebert, Derrick Doumit, Demi Doumit, Drew Doumit, April Fontenot Mooring, Jeremy Fontenot, Heather Fontenot Harrington, Brandon Hebert, Mark Hebert II, Trevis Hebert, Braison Hebert, Breigh Doumit Neuville, Brittlyn Doumit Vergenal, Katelyn Doumit, Drake Doumit, Candace Faughn LeBlanc, Lacie Hebert, Linzi Adkins, Lorin Adkins Buteau, Trey Touchet, Layni Smith, and Samantha Smith Graham; and 83 Great grandchildren with the addition of 4 to come.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Freddie Doumit, Sr.; her second husband, Cyril Hebert; Parents: Amelia Prince O'brien Colletti and John O'brien, Sr.; her step-father Henry Colletti, Sr.; her sister Rita O. Folse; her brother Henry "Butch" Colletti; her step-son, Kerry Hebert; three grandsons, Devin Doumit, Christopher Bienvenue and Justin Hebert; her great grandson, Bennett Moneaux; and her daughter-in-law, Ellen Picard Hebert.

Honored to serve as pallbearers are her sons, Freddie, Christopher, Steven, Phillip and John Doumit, and Sidney Barrilleaux.
The family would like to thank Braylynn Viator, Brooke Brown, Sue Breaux, Misty Melancon and Mrs. Georgia Murray. Without their loving care and compassion for Nedia, these last six years would not have been possible. They truly were the ones that helped give her the care and love she so deserved. Thank you to Dr. Jose Mata and Karen Olivier and the staff at The Family Medicine Center; Acadian Home Health's nurses and therapists who always had a smile and kind word for her; and to Hospice of Acadiana.
