LAFAYETTE - Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 15, 2017 at an 11:00 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial in St. Anthony Catholic Church for Marjorie August Simpson, age 84, who passed away Monday, July 10, 2017 at Lafayette General Medical Center in Lafayette.

Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery in Lafayette. The Rev. Clifton Labbe, pastor of St. Anthony Catholic Church, will officiate at the services.

Mrs. Simpson was a native of Carencro and a lifelong resident of Lafayette. She retired with thirty years as a Phlebotomist with University Health and Hospitals, formerly University Medical Center and Charity Hospital. A very prayerful woman, Mrs. Simpson was a parishioner of St. Anthony Catholic Church and was a member of the St. Anne Society, Ladies Altar Society and Ladies Auxiliary Court #166 of Knights of Peter Claver. Before her illness, she was very involved in her church. Marjorie August Simpson became the rock of her family after the death of her husband fifty years ago. Through her honesty, sternness, laughter and humor she held the family together and put everyone else before herself. She always had an open door and an open heart.

Survivors include one sons, John Clifford Simpson and his wife, Lori, of Ft. Wayne, IN; two daughters, Melinda Robinson and her husband, Eugene, of Baton Rouge and Amanda Charles and her husband, Dean, of Upper Marlboro, MD; her blessed companion of over thirty years, Joseph Carmouche of Carencro; one daughter-in-law, Denise Hurst Simpson (Thomas Simpson) of Carencro; one sister, Rose August Antoine and her husband, Harold, of Lafayette; eleven grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews that loved and cared for her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Clifton Simpson; her parents, Joseph August and Elizabeth Cormier August; one son, Thomas Simpson; and one brother, John August and his wife, Rita.

A rosary will be prayed at 7:00 p.m. Friday in the funeral home.
