Shirley, who resided in Lafayette, was born to the late Adam and Amanda Rousselle on April 7, 1928, in Taft, LA.
She was a volunteer at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital for 27 years, bringing her beautiful smile and compassion to all she encountered.
She enjoyed sewing, reading, being with her rosary group and most of all the loving time she spent with family.
She knew no strangers, as we lovingly called her "our social butterfly".
Shirley is survived by her beloved husband of more than 66 years, Edwin Gaudin Sr. of Lafayette, having married on October 25, 1947, in Norco, LA. She has four children, Deacon Gary Gaudin and his wife Linda of Eunice, Cheryl Gaudin, Edwin Gaudin Jr. and Pam Breaux, all of Carencro. She has eight grandchildren, Tamara Reeves, Yvette Niesel and husband Jim, Stephen Gaudin and wife Natalie, Joseph Whitmore and significant other Irene, Candyce Cina and husband Mark, Michelle Hayman and husband Kevin, Jeremy Breaux and wife Vickie, and Tanya Trahan and husband Michael. She adored her twelve great-grandchildren, Taylor, Gabrielle, Victoria, Lauren, Abigail, McKenzie, Kyle, Madison, Cecelia, Aiden, Zachary and Cade.
She is also survived by her sister, Loretta Simon.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Adam and Amanda Champagne Rousselle; a brother, Charles Rousselle; a sister, Vera Haydel; and a step-granddaughter, Yvonne Geerts.
