Bejae Marie Daigrepont's Obituary
The sun rose for Bejae Marie Daigrepont on April 11, 1979 as she entered this world with her infectious smile. The sun set on January 27, 2018 at her home in Mandeville, LA. She was 38 years old as she entered into eternal peace.
She is the beloved daughter of Don Paul Daigrepont and Terry Dixon Daigrepont. She is and always will be the devoted, loving mother of her daughter Charley G. Guzzardo and her son Joshua P. Michelli, II. Her love for both of them was the essence of her existence. Bejae is the loved sister of Baron J. Daigrepont and Beaux J. Daigrepont, the granddaughter of Betty B. Buras and the late Rodney A. Buras, Jeanie M. Dixon and the late Herbert S Dixon, Jr., the late Roland P. Daigrepont, Sr. and the late Dorothy M. Alfonso. She is also survived by her godfather and uncle Mitchell H. Dixon (Angela); uncles Mark E. Dixon (Liam), Paul C. Dixon (Michelle), Roland P. Daigrepont, Jr. (Paula), the late Dennis P. Daigrepont, the late Carl T. Daigrepont (Darlene) her godmother Sheron C. Klibert and many cousins.
Bejae graduated from All Saints Episcopal School in Vicksburg, MS and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Southeastern Louisiana University. God blessed her with the voice of an angel which earned her a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where she was chosen lead vocalist. Her love of literature encouraged her studies one summer in London, England. She was affectionately known to her family as Beej.
Bejae worked at North Oaks Hospital 11 years receiving awards for her work and dedication. In 2016, she accepted a position at LCMC Health as an IT specialist. When she walked into a room, it suddenly became a brighter, happier place. It was amazing how she could take the simplest object and create joy for all around her. Bejae’s sense of humor and smile brought laughter to all who knew her. She was a huge fan of Elvis, an avid reader and a protector of animals. She leaves behind her beloved dog, Abbie.
Relatives and friends are invited to her memorial service at E. J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 West 21st St.; Covington, LA on Sunday Feb 4, 2018 at 6:00 PM with visitation from 4:00 PM until service time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to PETA.
