WHEREAS, Alveretta Theresa Frilot Ledet of Houston passed
away on January 20, 2018, at the age of 90, leaving her wide circle
of loved ones to cherish their many happy memories of time spent in
her company; and
WHEREAS, Affectionately known as "Retta," the former
Alveretta Frilot was born on September 5, 1927, in the community of
Frilot Cove, Louisiana, to Clifford and Inez Frilot; the eldest of
six children, she worked to support her family while attending Holy
Ghost High School in Opelousas, and she helped her father raise her
younger siblings, Clifford, Alphonse, Albertha, Lois, and
Veronica, after their mother died in 1945; following her
graduation, she taught school for one year in Frilot Cove; and
WHEREAS, On November 18, 1950, she wed her true love, Curtis
Ledet, with whom she shared nearly seven decades; they moved to
Houston to begin their married life, and Mrs. Ledet devoted herself
to providing a nurturing home for her five children, Sheliah,
Michael, Carey, Sharon, and Carmela; she was also delighted to
become a grandmother and great-grandmother many times over; her
superb skills as a cook were greatly appreciated by her relatives
and friends, who were particularly fond of her delicious rice
dressing and pecan cake; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Ledet's faith was a source of much comfort and
reassurance to her, and she was a loyal member of the congregation
at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church; in her free time, she
enjoyed reading the newspaper and watching her favorite basketball
team, the Houston Rockets; and
WHEREAS, Possessed of a kind and caring nature, Retta Ledet
brightened the world for all who were blessed to know her, and she
will forever hold a treasured place in their hearts; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Alveretta Theresa
Frilot Ledet and extend sincere sympathy to her loved ones; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Alveretta
Ledet.
