Evelyn Domingue Trochez

Evelyn Domingue Trochez entered into eternal rest on February 27, 2025. Beloved wife of the late Leonard Trochez. Mother of Christopher Trochez (Janell). Grandmother of Matthew and Joshua Trochez. Daughter of the late Felix Domingue, Jr. and Eula Benoit Domingue. Sister of Marguerite D. Greig, and the late Dallas Domingue, Gilbert Dominge, and Dorothy D. Broussard. Also survived by nieces and nephews. Age 86 years, a native of Rayne, LA and resident of Gretna, LA. 

Her life was unique. When she was 18 years old she answered a newspaper ad and moved to California to be a saleswoman for Fuller Brush. She met and married the love of her life, Leonard who had moved to California from his home in Kahuku, Hawaii to work for the same company. Not long after meeting and traveling together, they married in a wedding chapel in San Francisco on Valentine's Day and were the perfect couple for some 60 years. Evelyn eventually worked as a bookkeeper, beautician, and retired from Sears after twenty plus years of service. 

She spent her final few years at The Blake in Harahan, well attended to by the magnificent staff at that establishment.  The family would like to thank the care team at The Blake for the care the gave to Evelyn for some 3 1/2 years.

At home, and then later at the Memory Care Facility where she lived her final years, there was a picture on the wall that reminded her of her late husband,  It was a sketch of Don Quixote, astride his faithful steed Rocinante, ready to do battle with the monsters (Windmills) and to protect the honor of the Princess Dulcinea. Having left the constraints of her Earthly life Evelyn now becomes Dulcinea, running through the meadows towards her Don Quixote who has patiently waited for his Princess to arrive since his Departure in January of 2018.  As in all fairy tales, the Princess and her Hero will now ride off into the Sunset moving towards their own eternal Happily Ever After.  

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to the Alzheimer's Association.
