Judy Lynn Dronet
KAPLAN — A Mass of Christian Burial was held at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22, 2021 at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church honoring the life of Judy Lynn Dronet, 74, who died Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021 at her residence.
The family requested visiting hours be observed at the church from 11 a.m. until time of services at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22, 2021, with a rosary prayed at noon.
She was laid to rest at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cemetery with Reverend Mark Miley officiating the services under the direction of Vincent Funeral Home of Kaplan.
Judy was fondly introduced as my third grade sister, not only educating children during her career, but also for how she remained in touch with her inner child throughout life. Many times I witnessed former students reminisce of their roles in the countless plays Judy directed. Judy was playful and fun, a compassionate and loyal friend and loving to all she knew.
Judy was also a librarian, an artist, a singer, an actor, an author, a publisher and the sweetest sister to Virgie and Melissa. What a joyous heavenly reunion with Mom, Dad and your precious sister, Virgie, it must have been. Your broken heart is mended now.
A 1964 graduate of Leland High School in Mississippi, Judy also received a bachelor’s degree in education from Delta State, as well as additional schooling at McNeese. Judy was a DKG member for 48 years, gathering numerous accolades. She and Virgie traveled to many summer state conventions together, enjoying the scenic routes along the way. Judy was a member of ABOB (A Block off Broadway) at the Strand Theater in Jennings, a member of the Catholic Daughter Association and Library Club in Lake Arthur, a member and entertainment coordinator with Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, as well as a member of the Kaplan Musee.
She is survived by her sister, Melissa A. Dronet of Lafayette; and numerous cousins, friends and former students.
She was preceded in death by her sister, Virgie M. Dronet; and her parents, Percy J. Dronet and the former Zula Harrington.
