Natalie Dougay
April 17, 1922 — April 28, 2021
Lake Charles – Natalie Dougay, born in Rayne, on April 17, 1922, the daughter of the late John and Alida (Cradeur) Babineaux, passed away on April 28, 2021, at the age of 99.
Natalie was a hard worker and as the oldest child, besides feeding the chickens, tending goats, and milking cows, she would “team up the mules” and help her dad work the fields. Through the years, she also worked at Pitt Gill, St. Patrick Hospital, Resthaven and Hixson Funeral Home.
Natalie loved the purple color, cooking, eating crawfish, tending a vegetable garden, playing cards, fishing, watching sports, especially going to McNeese football games. She loved listening to Cajun French music and dancing. In her last few days, she even wanted to go dance at the Shamrock. Her greatest joy was being with her family and they recently gathered to celebrate her 99th birthday. Family and friends will miss her incredible wit.
