Roxanne Newsom

It is with heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Roxanne Newsom, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She was welcomed into eternal rest on March 16, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

She deeply loved spending time with her family and friends and found great joy in caring for her plants and flowers. Her home and garden reflected the warmth and love she shared with everyone around her. Roxanne was a beautiful soul, always offering a warm smile and helping hand to those around her. She took great joy in her role as a bank teller in the banking industry for many years, where she made lasting connections with her colleagues and customers alike.

Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband, Michael Newsom; her children, Kerry Hebert (Michael), Mallory Fontenot (Matthew), and Morgan Istre; and her stepchildren, Nick Newsom (Lacie) and Chasidy Newsom. She was the proud grandmother of 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought great joy to her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernice Kibodeaux and Amos LeJeune; as well as Ella Mae Broussard, Tiffany Newsom, Clara Patin, Robert LeJeune, and Esther LeMaire.
