Bernice Aucoin

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Bernice Marie Aucoin, who left us peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on May 24, 1945, in Sulphur, LA, Bernice spent her life in the quaint town of Welsh, where she was a cherished homemaker and the heart of her family.

Bernice is survived by her son, Claude "Dozey" (Tammie) Aucoin, and her daughter, Patty (David) Reed. She also leaves behind her cherished sisters: Margie (James) Bertrand, Cathy Clement, Leona (Glen) Black, and Wanda (Milton) Mallett. Her legacy will live on through her grandchildren - Bradley (Sharon), Jeremy (Cristina), Ashlyn, Ashley, Alex, William "Billy", Kylie (RL), Makayla, and Ace - as well as her great-grandchildren: Brady, Charleigh, Nora, Emberly, Aria, Delilah, Amelia, Greyson, Caroline, Sophie, and Everett.

She was a devoted follower of her faith, finding joy in reading the Bible and attending church services. Bernice had a passion for crafting, cooking, decorating, and loved nothing more than spending time with her family, creating lasting memories.

Nickolas Helton officiating, where family and friends will come together to celebrate her life.
