Carrie was born May 24, 1925, in Morgan City to the late Egbert Duval and the late Ouida Stephens Duval.

She was a homemaker who centered herself with family. She had a passion for animals, especially dogs and cared for many throughout her years.

She will be deeply missed and her memory will live on in the hearts and thoughts of all who knew and loved her.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son Richard J. Broussard and his wife Cheryl; her daughter-in-law Carole Broussard; her stepdaughter Patsy Helms; and a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Broussard and Andre E. Broussard Jr.; her stepdaughters Terry Derouen Huval and Gail Derouen Clolinger Duncan; and her brother and sisters, Leonard Duval, Cynthia Nini and Leana Cortez.
