Audrey Savoie Daigle, born Dec. 5, 1922, daughter of the late Pierre and Eddie May (Murphy) Savoie, passed away Sunday, June 6, 2021, at the age of 98.
Granny Bird, as she was known to all who loved her, enjoyed cooking, and Sunday lunches with her family. She loved her grandchildren and they loved her! She loved a good story, even if it was about herself.
She attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Creole, and later, after moving to Welsh following Hurricane Ike, she attended Our Lady of Seven Dolores. She worked as a secretary for the Cameron Clerk of Court and as a typist at Charlie Hebert Abstract.
