Funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at Delhomme Funeral Home - Maurice for Oland Charles Bouillion, 90, who passed away on December 3, 2024.
Reverend Paul Bienvenu will conduct the funeral services and military honors will be rendered by the Patriot Guard Riders.
Burial will take place in Broussard Cemetery - Woodlawn in Maurice.
Born in 1934, Oland lived on a farm near the outskirts of Erath. He was raised in tough times which forced him to quit school in the 3rd grade and work in the fields for the rest of his childhood. He loved gardening and working on his farm. He married his lifelong love, Jane Simon, at the age of 18. He then went on to serve in the National Guard, followed by successful careers in farming, land surveying, and construction. A few years after he retired, his wife suffered a stroke, and he selflessly dedicated the last 23 years to caring for her. They were married for 71 years and since her passing in April 2024, he missed her greatly and often spoke about being reunited with his love. To many, he was known as “Gramps” the lifelong prankster, who never passed up a good joke and also enjoyed riding the grandkids on his John Deere tractor. All of his visitors who came to visit him talked about all the jokes he played on them. His house was always filled with laughter and jokes, and when we would leave, he would always tell us that he loved us bigger than two Nanu’s.
He is survived by his two daughters, Mona Owens and husband, Mitch of Maurice, Cheryl Suire and husband, Nolan of Maurice; five grandchildren, Autumn Suire (Jason), Amber Wallace (Josh), Alexis Romero (Chase), Jared Frederick (Malori), and Nolan Suire II (known as Nanu to Gramps); eleven great-grandchildren, Isyli Cabrol, Hugh Wallace, Finn Wallace, Celia Wallace, Mayci Richard, Jansyn Romero, Jence Frederick, Vance Frederick, Ivy Frederick, Jolee Suire, and Marlee Suire; one great-great granddaughter, Blayklee Cormier; one sister, Eula LeBlanc of Abbeville; and one son-in-law, Alvin Ray Frederick of Maurice.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 71 years, Jane Simon Bouillion; his parents, Edie Bouillion and Rosie Aucoin Bouillion; one sister, Lou Vella Gaspard; three brothers, Ludwest Bouillion, Aldan Bouillion, and Javis Bouillion.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Delhomme Funeral Home – Maurice on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. A Rosary will be prayed at 12 p.m.
Pallbearers will be Nolan Suire II, Chase Romero, Jason Cabrol, Jared Frederick, Josh Wallace, and Alvin Ray Frederick.
The family would like to thank the staff of Amedisys Hospice and their team. Also, Juanita Gonzales and Sonia Baudoin who were there to care for him until the end.
"Goodbye for now Nanu Nanu"
Oland Charles Bouillion and his family were cared for and entrusted final arrangements to Delhomme Funeral Home – Maurice – 200 Chief H Fred Road, Maurice, LA.
