Known as Butchie to her beloved grandchildren, Marilyn, age 77, died on Wednesday, December 19, 2012, at Ochsner Medical Center in Baton Rouge. Born in Cottonport on January 12, 1935, she was the second of eight children born to Clyston and Rosemary Lemoine. She graduated from Cottonport High School and attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana. She and her husband Ed Bordelon owned and operated Bordelons Super Save Pharmacy for a number of years. She and Ed made their home in Port Allen.

Butch was the kindest, most generous and accepting of people. She possessed a remarkable sense of humor and the ability to make everyone around her happy. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and sister. From childhood, she loved riding horses, her many dogs, playing tennis and, later in life, the New Orleans Saints. There was no better person anywhere and her family will miss her forever.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyston M. Lemoine and Rosemary Broussard Lemoine.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Edwin A Bordelon and their six children, Bruce Leslie of Port Allen, Paul Shelly of Baton Rouge, Amy Justice Bill of Baton Rouge, Martin Suzanne of Port Allen, John Holly of Pierre Part, Laura Winters John of Mandeville. Also left to cherish her memory are her 14 grandchildren: Chris, John, Michael, Steven, Sarah, Annie, Daniel, Beau, Ben Emma Rose Bordelon, Maddie and Sam Justice, Hayden DeBate, Molly and Jack Winters. She is also survived by her five sisters: RoseAnne Juneau of Cottonport, Ethel Mae Juneau of Bunkie, Elizabeth Liz Shoemaker of Big Canoe, Ga., Clystine Tina Lemoine and Martha Palmer of New Orleans and two brothers, David Lemoine of Red Lodge, Montana and Peter John Lemoine of Cottonport.


Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God believe also in me. My Fathers house has many rooms if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

The family would like to thank the staff of Ochsner Hospital of Baton Rouge for their kindness shown to their mother.
