Deborah Doolittle Bodron's Obituary
Deborah Doolittle Bodron June 20, 1950– June 25, 2025
Deborah Doolittle Bodron, age 75, of Covington, Louisiana, passed away on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. She was born on June 20, 1950, in New Orleans, Louisiana and is survived by her son, Michael “Mike” Bodron Jr. (Sally); grandchildren, Michael, Adaline, Eleanor, and William, who affectionately referred to her as “Mina”; and many loving cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, the love of her life, Michael George Bodron II, as well as her parents, Thomas Doolittle and Pearl Pulling Doolittle.
Debbie was a devoted educator whose teaching career reflected her deep love of learning and her commitment to others. She found deep joy in spending time with her family and friends, treasuring those relationships throughout her life. Debbie was an avid reader with a lifelong passion for history and the arts, and she appreciated the simple pleasures, especially a quiet moment with a good book and a glass of Chardonnay.
Known for her sharp wit and special sense of humor, she had a gift for making others laugh and feel at ease. Her legacy is one of love, curiosity, and grace. She touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you sit with someone you love, tell an old story, and let your heart ache – a little –for the beauty of it all.
