Carolyn was born March 3, 1958, in Jennings to parents Eva Dale Hebert and Carroll Edward Spencer, Sr.

She spent her early years in the greater New Orleans area, returning to Jennings in the late 1970s after marrying her husband of 45 years and best friend, Lee Frank Boulet, in 1976.

Carolyn worked hard her entire life to better herself and others, from achieving her GED to getting her bachelor’s degree in early childhood development and education. She dedicated 25-plus years to the Jeff Davis Head Start program.

She was a lifelong member of Jesus Worship Center and her greatest joy was being involved in children’s ministry. Carolyn loved crafts and made baby quilts for all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and every baby born into her church family. Her love of children was truly shown by the raising of over 30 foster children, of which 11 were a permanent part of her life.

Carolyn leaves behind to cherish her memory four generations of family, including her husband, Lee Frank Boulet; her dog, Chica; five daughters, Kris Bourge, Adalia “Lollie” Copca, Amanda Reynolds, Tina Dartez and Gabrielle Hollier; four sons, Tommy Benoit, Eric Hollier, Don Paul Reed and Cody Boulet; three sisters, Belinda Spencer Remmers, Patches Spencer and Carrie (Troy) Broussard; one brother, Carroll Edward (Eddie) Spencer, Jr.; 30 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; two nieces; 10 nephews; 19 great nieces/nephews; and special to her heart, Rhonda and Wilfred “Bo” Douget.

Carolyn was welcomed with open arms into heaven by her parents, Eva Dale Hebert Menge and Al Menge and Carroll Edward Spencer, Sr., and Clara Hebert Spencer; her daughter, Tommy Lou Huckleby; her son, Harvey Benoit; grandchild, Tasha Istre; grandmother, Hilda Hebert; and her dogs, Mille and Susie Q.

Carrying Carolyn to her final resting place were Wilfred “T-Bo” Douget, Blake “Jake” Ory, Kevin Remmers, Tommy Benoit, Jo Watts and Cody Ray Bouley.

Honorary pallbearers were Lucas Spencer, Willie Reynolds, Ashton Douget, Matt Remmers, Don Paul and Travis Spencer.

The family wishes to express a special thank you to Heart of Hospice for the excellent care given.

To Rhonda and Wilfred “Bo” Douget, you have a special place in heaven and in our hearts for all the sacrifices made and the help you provided to get Carolyn through her journey.
