Shirley’s Obituary Memorial Services celebrating the life of Shirley K. Alwert will be held Saturday, July 20, 2019, beginning at 4:00 p.m. until time of services at 6 PM at Louisiana Funeral Services & Crematory, 108 Hardware Rd., Broussard, LA. Shirley passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 11th, at home surrounded by loving friends and family. A resident of Terrytown, LA for over 45 years, Shirley Alwert (aka “Tootsie”) was well known in the Golden Agers world of bowling, bingo, dances, casinos and many excursions to varying venues of entertainment. Shirley was also an avid shopper and terrorized drivers in the Westbank community. Known for her unwavering desire to be on the move, family and friends will never forget her “My way or the highway” approach to always forge ahead, keeping everyone in a state of constant readiness. Shirley was born on November 11, 1933 and enjoyed 85 years of life including marriage, world wide travel, 4 wonderful children, 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Shirley lost her husband of 60 years, her one and only love, John W. Alwert, Jr., on June 5, 2010 leaving an emptiness in her life that could never be replaced. Tragically, she lost her only daughter, Aline Adrienne Lerille (65 years old), on July 20, 2018 further testing the limits of her strength and human resolve. Shirley lost her parents before the age of 4 and was raised by one of her 3 sisters (Odile Bianchinni) in New Orleans. Despite these tragic events, Shirley never gave up and taught all that knew her about the strength, resolve and courage needed to fight and embrace the fragile gift of life we are all blessed with. She will not be soon forgotten but will be forever missed. She is survived by 3 sons, John Alwert, III (Kathie), Armound Alwert (Lisa), and Mike Alwert, Sr., many nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceeded in death by her Brothers: Mike Dunne, Armound Dunne, John Dunne; Sisters: Bridgett Dunne, Odile Bianchinni and Leona Gothreaux. A special thanks to all the Wonderful volunteers who assisted Shirley from Hospice of Acadiana. Our deepest love and appreciation to the sitters who treated Shirley with love and dignity for the past 11 months… Our lives are enriched by your tenderness and unwavering support during difficult times. Bethany, Jenice, Phyllis, Sherry and Momma Janna, you are our heroes. Read More
