CHURCH POINT, La. (KLFY) — Wilma Daigle is 100 years old. Born in 1925, Wilma embodies the strength of family as she and her husband raised two children, a boy and a girl.
“I had a good life,” Daigle said. “I can’t complain. God has been good to me.”
Church Point is her hometown.
“I have only one brother and one sister,” she said.
Wilma smiled as she recalled meeting the man she married at her first house dance.
“”No, I didn’t know him at all” Daigle said. “We just met like that.”
Wilma spent her days working for the school system, in the lunchroom, nourishing both bodies and minds.
“I started at L. Leo Judice, then Prairie Elementary, and Acadiana,” she said.
Her husband spent his work days navigating the open roads as a truck driver for an oil company,
“He retired and opened a farmer’s feed store in Scott,” Daigle said. “It was a feed store where all the farmers bought feed for their animals. He kept it until he died.”
Wilma says she taught her children to be honest and always do the right thing. She agrees it’s a terrible thing not to be trusted.
“Isn’t that the truth, baby? That’s a tough way to go when you can’t trust someone.”
When it comes to her, she can’t help but think, if it’s not broken, why fix it?
“To just live a pleasant life. That’s all I’m asking for.”
