Glenna Louise Skaggs Deshotel, 76, of Carlyss passed away Wednesday, August 6, 2025, in a local care facility, surrounded by family.

Ms. Deshotel was born in Mesa, AZ. She was a graduate of Roseburg High School in OR. She met her husband, Larry Deshotel in San Diego, CA where she worked as a Beautician. In 1973 they moved to Sulphur, LA where she raised her family. Being an avid reader, she found joy delivering books to patients’ rooms, while volunteering as a “Pink Lady” at West Cal-Cam Hospital. She will be remembered for serving the SWLA communities for over 20 years with her second family at Hollier's Cajun Kitchen.

Ms. Deshotel enjoyed family vacations and among her most memorable were those with her children and grandchildren to Washington, DC, Disney World and Destin, FL. She was a talented seamstress, who sewed clothing for her daughter and won a number of ribbons for her entries at the Cal-Cam fair. Ms. Deshotel was also a wonderful cook and she loved feeding her family, especially for Sunday dinners, a much-treasured tradition. She was a lady of grace and prayer who found comfort in raising her children and grandchildren in the Catholic church. She will be most remembered for her kind heart, generosity and loving devotion to her family.

She leaves to honor her memory, three children, Mark David Deshotel of Sulphur, Rachel Ann Deshotel Bertrand (and her husband Clifton "Bubba") of Moss Bluff and Brant Matthew Deshotel (and his wife Danyel) of Sulphur; four grandchildren, Tyler Keith Bertrand (and his fiancé Anna Nicole Daigle), Laiken Nichole Bertrand Little (and her husband Coby), Valeriya Diana Deshotel and Hayden Paul Bertrand; three great grandchildren, Weston Paul Bertrand, Josie Louise Little and Layton James Bertrand and one on the way (Scottie Anne Little).
