Virginia Lee Badeaux, known as Jenny, passed away on January 21, 2024, at the Calcutta House. She was born on February 12, 1950, in Lake Charles. Jenny's loss will be deeply felt by her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known her.

Jenny led a remarkable life filled with love, compassion, and selflessness. She dedicated many years of her life to working at Port Barre High School, where she touched the lives of countless students and colleagues. Her impact on the educational community cannot be overstated.

Beyond her professional achievements, Jenny was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She radiated warmth and kindness wherever she went. Her loving and caring nature meant that she was cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

One of Jenny's greatest joys in life was sewing. With skillful hands and a creative eye, she transformed fabric into beautiful works of art. Her creations showcased not only her talent but also her attention to detail and dedication to perfection.

Jenny's faith held great importance to her. For many years, she served as a Eucharistic Minister at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Her devotion to her faith was an inspiration to others and brought comfort to those around her.

Another passion that brought immense joy to Jenny's life was watching her beloved grandchildren play soccer. She never missed a game and could often be seen cheering them on from the sidelines with pride shining in her eyes. Her support and love for them knew no bounds.

Jenny is survived by her sons Kenneth "Kenny" Badeaux (Allison) and Timothy Ray Badeaux (Jas) both of Arnaudville and grandchildren Chaz, Baylon, and Abigail Badeaux. In addition to her immediate family members, she is preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth R.P. Badeaux, father, Lewis P. Ozan, mother, Mary Ozan, brothers Robert Lewis Ozan and Nathan H. Ozan, and sisters Norma J. Blanchette, Louise Franks, Ruby Verdine, and Christine Ozan. Jenny's love and impact will be cherished by each of them in their own unique way.

Jenny's passing leaves a void that cannot be easily filled. Her memory will remain engraved in the hearts of those who loved her. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, love, and devotion that will continue to inspire others for years to come.

As we celebrate the life of Virginia Lee Badeaux, let us cherish the memories we shared with her and strive to emulate the love and compassion that was at the core of her being. Jenny's presence may no longer be tangible, but her spirit will forever live on in our hearts.
