Ogden “O.J.” Thibodeaux, 73, of Nederland died, Saturday January 1, 2005 at Park Place Medical Center in Port Arthur.
A native of Church Point, Louisiana, he lived in Nederland for 41 years. He was a member of Knights of Columbus #5145 in Nederland, and St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.
He is survived by his loving wife Jane, of 55 years. He was a wonderful and caring father to Ronald Thibodeaux and wife Linda, Darlene Bonsall and husband Scott, Brent Thibodeaux and wife Lisa, and Tina Molina and husband Jose. He was grandfather to Ashley, Christopher, Jeremy, and Courtney Thibodeaux, Melissa Edwards, Scotty and Nikki Bonsall, and Mariah and Megan Molina. He was great grandfather to Jessika Edwards and Gavin Thibodeaux. He is also survived by five brothers and three sisters.
A truck driver for 35 years, he enjoyed retired life by cooking, working in his shop, and spoiling his grand and great grandchildren. His smile, laugh, and his whistling of Cajun tunes will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 4, 2005 at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Nederland with Rev. Dan Malain officiating. Interment will follow at Oak Bluff Memorial Park in Port Neches under the direction of Broussard’s in Nederland. A scriptural rosary will be recited 6:00 P.M. Monday evening at the mortuary
