Alice C. Hebert was born on August 5, 1942, in Taft, Louisiana and she was a resident of Carencro.
For many years to come, Alice will be missed by friends and family who loved her beyond measure. Alice will be remembered by her witty personality. Her mastery of her famous Cajun dishes gave her great pleasure in sharing with her family and friends. Alice's beautiful plants were a testimony of her love for gardening. She always produced a beautiful garden filled with fruits and vegetables that she unselfishly shared with neighbors, friends and family alike. Another of her greatest passions was working with thoroughbred horses.
She could be found early mornings, working side by side with her husband, Doris Hebert, caring for these horses to get them ready to compete. Their testimony of success prevailed in making them Leading Trainers at racetracks like Jefferson Downs two years in a row in 1975 and 1976. Evangeline Downs in 1974. Lake Front, Birmingham Racecourse, Delta Downs, Fair Grounds Racecourse and Louisiana Downs. Alice and her husband Doris also owned and operated Cajun Downs Racetrack in Abbeville for twenty plus years. Alice's dedication to this passion all these many years contributed to the success the Hebert family enjoyed in the world of racing thoroughbreds. Alice will be missed by her family and friends who loved her, enjoyed her friendship and companionship. Rest well on your journey home, Sweet Lady.
