To cherish his memory, Rodney leaves behind his daughter, Earline Thibodeaux Rogers; his son-in-law, Chris Rogers; his granddaughter, Jamie Lynn Womack-Granger, and her husband, Brandon Granger; his grandson, James Earl Womack Jr. “Bubba”; great-granddaughter, Shi-Lynn Granger; his sister, Judy Thibodeaux Moffett; his twin brother, Rodnis Thibodeaux; brother-in-law, Clyde Brown; nephews, Glenn Deville, Troy Deville, Warren Brown, Karl Young, Jonas Young, Michael Brown and Mitch Brown; nieces, Donna Brown Young, Stacey Brown Young, Leah Brown, Dawn Deville and Tieann Deville; former son-in-law, James Earl Womack Sr.; and numerous more family and friends.
He joins in heaven his parents, Alphonse Thibodeaux and Onelia Aucoin Thibodeaux; his sister, Marjorie Brown; sister-in-law, Emily Paray Thibodeaux; his infant siblings he never had the chance to meet; and all of the other family members that are all in heaven waiting this sweet man.
Rodney would often share his wisdom by often saying, don’t worry about things you cannot change and if everyone worried about themselves as much as others then this world would be a whole lot better, to treat everyone the same way going up the ladder because one day you will meet the same people coming down that same ladder, and lastly, if you talk about other people or their children it may turn around and fall on your own nose.
Visitation for Rodney will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 9 a.m. until time of services at 2 p.m. at Hargrave Funeral Home. Graveside services will be held in the Morgan City Mausoleum with military honors being rendered by the East St. Mary Veteran’s Funeral Squad.
Acting as pallbearers will be Chris Rogers, James “Bubba” Womack Jr., Glenn Deville, Brandon Granger, Mark Rogers and James Womack Sr. Rodnis Thibodeaux will be the honorary pallbearer.
The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude of appreciation to Patricia Vinning for the excellent care given to Rodney, to Heart of Hospice Staff for the medical care given, and Mr. Gaudat, for all the visits and candy he would bring to Rodney to make his day so bright. Earline and the family thanks each and every one of you.
