"Thelma "Tee" Holliday Bergeron passed away on Monday, December 4, 2023. She was born in Tylertown, MS on February 10, 1935. She lived a full, loving and so loved beautiful life. Tee grew up as Thelma in Lexi, MS on a farm, working alongside her parents, siblings and others. She graduated from Lexi High School, near Tylertown and was anxious to see more of the world! Almost immediately she moved to the Bogalusa, LA are, got a job and a room right away. That made her want to see more! She and her best friend, Pauline Graves, moved to New Orleans, got jobs with the phone company, moved in together and began exploring the City. When Pauline was dating a man named Dennis Bergeron, she introduced Tee to his brother, Bill Bergeron - then the brothers married the best friends and a lifelong friendship was formed. When Tee and Bill married, he joined the Marine Corps and they started a family and began military life and seeing the country and the world. They supported each other through everything and gave their family an amazing life. Tee worked at a bank in McAlester, OK when they lived there, She loved it and never looked back. When they moved to Mandeville, LA when they were close to retiring from the Marine Corps, she began working at Citizens Bank in Covington, LA where she stayed for about 30 years! She loved her co-workers and her customers. Tee was always laughing, joking, smiling, and loved making others laugh. Even after so lovingly raising her own kids, she was so very involved in grandkids lives and even the great-grandkids lives - taking them all to soccer, football, basketball, cheerleading and all the activities she enjoyed so much with them. She was unstoppable! Even after the deaths of her parents and siblings, the love she had for them remained as strong as when they were here with her, as did her love for all their children. Her love for her husband and family was unconditional and everlasting. She was the most beautiful woman, inside and out. Even on the day she passed, her skin looked like that of a 25 year old! Her faith in God never waivered - even in tough times, she knew he would get everyone through troubled waters. She almost seemed happy to go to Him on her last day. She is survived by her loving husband, Major Joseph William "Bill" Bergeron, Sr, USMC RET. , her children, Jeanne Bergeron, Lawerence William "Bill Bergeron" (Sharon), Michael Bergeron of Kansas, Lisa Bergeron, of Virginia, her stepchildren, Joseph W.
