Miss Mary Gerallyn Siffert, born June 24, 1922, passed peacefully from this life on August 6, 2009, born the 6th of 7 children to Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Elvire Fontenot Siffert. She was predeceased by her parents, her brothers, Bertman Siffert and wife, Adeline, Vernon Siffert and wife, Neva, Audrey Siffert, and Herschell Siffert; sisters, Mildred Siffert and Alice Guillaumin and husband, Prosper. She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Mrs. Verda Mae Siffert and Mrs. Anna Lee Siffert; fifteen nieces and nephews, numerous great nieces and nephews, and extended family in Louisiana and Texas.

Quiet spoken and reserved with a quick wit and a sharp mind, she possessed a deep faith in God, unwavering love for her family and friends and a strong work ethic.

In 1941, she joined her sister, Alice, who was working for Morgan and Lindsey in Lafayette. During the war, they were promoted to Management positions for stores in Lafayette and Greenville, Arkansas. After Alice retired and the company name changed to G.C. Murphy, Co., Miss Siffert continued to manage stores in Lafayette, Alexandria, Hammond, and Thibodeaux. She retired in the 1980s to live near her family in St. Landry, where she continued to enjoy gardening, reading, word search puzzles, pokeno, piecing quilt tops, and trips to the casinos. She was a member Catholic Daughters of America and a faithful member of St. Peters Catholic Church in Pine Prairie and St. Theresas Chapel in St. Landry.
