Maudry Albarado Dupuy, a resident of LaPlace and a native of Belle Rose, passed on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 in the comforts of her home, listening to the daily Catholic Mass, at the age of 93. 

As a young woman, she worked as a switchboard operator before meeting her husband, John. Together, they embarked on a life of adventure, traveling the world for John’s Air Force career and creating a legacy of love. They lived in Scotland, Greece, and on the Isle of Crete, giving their children the opportunity to experience different ways of life. They lived in Houston briefly after John’s retirement before choosing to return to Louisiana. After settling their family in LaPlace, Maudry worked for TG&Y and Walmart. She took pride in her work, no matter the department, and earned the respect of those around her for her dedication and commitment. But above all, Maudry was most proud of her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She cherished her family and found her greatest joy in spending time with her loved ones. 

She is survived by her two daughters, Marlene Dupuy Meades (Flavious) and Patricia Dupuy; two granddaughters, Natalie Meades Keating (Anthony) and Chelsea Dupuy Billiot (Devin); two great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Sebastian Keating, and her sister, Clara Albarado Capello. 

She is preceded in death by her husband, John Preston Dupuy; her parents, Walter Albarado Sr. and Palmire Raffray Albarado; eight sisters, Mildred Michellie, Hazel Allen, Gracie Blanchard, Margie Cotton, Audrey Mabile, Evelyn Cotton, Alta Romero, and Palmire Constant; six brothers, Linwood Albarado, Murry Albarado, Eddie Albarado, Fellan Albarado, Warren Albarado, and Walter Albarado Jr.; two infant brothers, Norris Albarado and Hubbie Albarado, and a great-granddaughter, Samantha Keating.

Services will be held the following day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Mass will begin at 1 p.m. and interment will follow at Prairieville Cemetery.
