Barbara Guillory Boone was born on May 6, 1950 in Evangeline Parish to Herman Guillory and Bessie Berzas Guillory.   She was devoted to her Lord and Savior, and was a prayerful member of Riverside Church of Christ where she faithfully attended worship.  Barbara was a loving and caring person who always wanted to help those in need.  She worked for Acadian Ambulance for many years as a paramedic, and later in life she returned to college to further her education receiving her degree in nursing. She worked for many years as an LPN in hospitals and nursing homes.  Barbara enjoyed helping her community through her work with the volunteer fire department.  She was a very talented lady.  One of her many talents was that of repairing dolls and restoring them to a near original condition.  Barbara’s work with dolls earned her the unofficial title of the “Doll Doctor”.  She also had a talent for growing beautiful flowers and vegetables in her gardens.  Barbara’s greatest joy was that of taking care of her family.  She loved them unconditionally and did everything she could to ensure their success.  This special lady will be greatly missed by all those she kept close to her heart.

Barbara is survived by her husband of over fifty years, Ralland Boone of Butte Larose; son, Ralland Boone, Jr. and wife, Anne Marie of Prairieville; daughter, Lori Boone Irmen and husband, Patrick of Breaux Bridge;  eight grandchildren: James Boone, Ashton Nichols and husband, Josh, Hunter Boone and their mother, Michelle Merwin, Garett Thompson and wife, Hannah, Taylor Thompson, Trisha Maxey and husband, Josh, Britni and Caleb Lollis and their father, Todd Lollis; and eight great grandchildren:  Colton, Nash, Miles, Stone and Sawyer and their mother, Taylor Boone, King, Amilliah, and Tevn.  Also left behind to cherish her memory are her two sisters, Charlene Gayle Little and husband, Allen of Baton Rouge, and Trudy Armstrong and husband, Randy of Denham Springs; two brothers, Michael Guillory and wife, Virginia of Katy, Texas and Karl Guillory and wife, Kelly of Temple, Texas; and her cat, Raine of Breaux Bridge.
