    Edwin Louis Hollier, 78, of Opelousas, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 4, 2019 at his home in Opelousas, after a valiant fight with cancer. He was surrounded by his wife, his children, and all six of his grandchildren.

    Edwin was born in Opelousas to Moise and Bernadette (Artigue) Hollier on September 4, 1940. He attended Opelousas High School and graduated in 1958. He served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Korea as a tank driver patrolling the DMZ. After honorary discharge, he played semi-professional football in Ohio and worked as the Cajun snowplow driver. After returning home to Louisiana, he worked for United Parcel Service (UPS) for 30 years where he received many commendations including Driver of the Year in 1973. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, sports, watching game shows (and beating contestants), Little Debbie snacks, and spending time with his family. His passion later in life was as a volunteer with the St. Landry Parish Veteran’s Committee where he helped to plan and build the St. Landry Parish Veteran’s memorial. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

    Edwin is survived by his wife of 54 years, Rose (Dufilho); daughter Bernadette and husband Bruce Robison; son Mark and wife Rhonda (Venable); grandchildren Katherine Rose (Prescher) Knott and husband Jarred, Adrienne Isabel Prescher, Taylor Louis Robison and fiancée Monique Davide, Jasmine Lynn Robison and fiancé Chad Clause, Ian Christopher Hollier, and Evan Thomas Hollier; great-grandchildren Khlöe Ann Knott, Roemyn Grace Knott, Bennett Joseph Knott, Autumn Rose Angelle, Vincent Leroy Joseph Angelle, Braxton Louis Robison, Charlotte Jane Robison, and Claire Ann-Marie Clause.

    He was 23 years old and she only 13 when the courtship began.

    WAS HE FOOLED
    He tried to be a guardian to her, introducing her to nice boys, and in reality, trying to find a man for her. But he didn’t know how set she was, until, he didn’t see her for one year
    WRITES HIS MOTHER
    Undaunted, the pretty dark-haired dark-eyed girl, wrote his mother. “That’s when I gave up my idea of wanting to be a bachelor and started, to my amazement, thinking that perhaps married life wouldn’t be too bad.”

    Since then, both have been busy and have never had a chance to visit each other. On this day. with their children, grandchildren (nine), and great-grandchildren (two); this scribe would like to take her hat off to them.
    MET LIFE BRAVELY
