Aimee Besse Obituary

Aimee P. Besse passed away on Saturday, February 11, 2017 in Greensburg, LA at 82 years of age. She was born September, 20, 1934 in Bessamorel, France and she and her husband, Bernard, and two children, Patrick and Rose, moved to the United States in 1969 where she made a home for her family. While living in France, She worked as a secretary at a bank in France. When the opportunity arose and her cousin, Aime Claudet, suggested, they moved to the United States. She and her husband jumped on the opportunity in order to give their children a better life. Here they managed an 800 acre farm where she and her family raised over 400 head of cattle. Work was hard and they missed their family, but she knew this would make a better life for them as she had experienced many heart aches during the war when France was invaded by Germany.

Je viens de découvrir qu'Aimée était morte. Je pensais reprendre contact avec elle pour passer la voir lors de mon prochain séjour aux US de fin avril à mi-juillet.
Aimée m'avait reçu pendant presque 1 semaine chez elle juste avant Noël 2003. Une pensée pour elle et sa famille.

Just learnt the sad news of Aimée's death. I spent nearly a week at her home for Xmas 2003. Had a wonderful time with her. By chance, we attended the ceremonies for the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. She made me and my friend Martin a tour of Louisiana (New Orleans, Bâton Rouge, LaFayette, etc.) and we even went to Biloxi, Mississippi and the Stennis Space Center. Really good memories, and lots of fun!

Dear all,

I'm Sabine. Marie-Laurences daughter. I'm so sad to learn Aimee's departure. À part of my childwood is going away with her. I can remember how happy I was when aimée came to See us. I was proud to say that to my friends, while I was just beginning to learn english at school. It was fantastic, we laughed a lot, she was always in a good mood. It was funny when she spoke to Shaun in a non academic american!

She always invited me to come in Louisiana, I should have come, it is one of my big regrets.

I think of you all and wish you some strength to surmount this event.

Rose and Patrick as I don't have to tell
you...you had a wonderful mother. My mother thought very highly of her as did
my dad with both your parents. I think Daddy did a lot of dozer work for them in the early 70s before his accident.
God Bless and grant you comfort and peace as you know where your sweet mother is.
