Barbara Helen Doxey

Barbara Helen Doxey, 89, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2026, after an extended stay at Grand Cove in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Barbara was born on July 26, 1937, to Wilson and Ena Baccigalopi Conner of Creole, Louisiana. She grew up in the small community of Creole where she attended Creole High School. Barbara left school early in the 11th grade to marry the love of her life, Robert C. Doxey on January 1, 1955. They were married nearly 50 years when Robert passed away in 2004.

Her first job as a young wife was working at the Gulf Motel for Mr. Frankie Henry.

After Cameron was rebuilt, Barbara worked at Cameron Elementary School as a Teacher's aide and then began driving a school bus. She worked for the Cameron Parish School Board for 40 years.

She was a member of Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church until Hurricane Rita destroyed it in 2005.

Barbara enjoyed spending time with her children and their families. Shopping with the girls, eating out or family gatherings at their homes celebrating birthdays, weddings, and football games, were special moments for Barbara. She especially enjoyed her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.
