Diane Guidry Lebrun, a loving mother, a courageous woman, loyal friend, and an ever contagious energy of joy, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home on Monday, March 13, 2023. She was surrounded by the love of family and her beloved pets.

Diane was born a fiery redhead with a glowing spirit, on April 5, 1954, in Lafayette Louisiana. She attended Lafayette High School and graduated in 72. Diane never missed her high school reunions for 50 years. She was a proud Ragin’ Cajun woman, who never missed an opportunity to exchange stories, laughs, and intoxicate anyone in her presence with her genuine smile. With her fun loving personality, she was a force to be reckoned with, and admired by many who had the luxury to meet and know her in their life. She never met a stranger whom she wouldn’t give her all to, or make laugh with her bold sense of humor.

Diane was a highly skilled and cherished Hairdresser in Ruston area for over 49 years. Her clients were not just clients, they were family to her. She was a celebrated, vibrant multitalented woman, recording many records, and serenaded many audiences with her beautiful voice at festivals, weddings, funerals, and just about any event in life that brought people together. Singing was her passion, and her stunning voice, is one that will resonate in the choir of heaven for eternity.

With her great love and adoration for her children, she led with loyalty and love beyond measure. Diane pushed through every moment in life, where a tragedy or challenge would hinder most, she shined brighter from within, and these moments only refined her already glowing spirit to shine brighter. She has proven to be a remarkable example of grace, resilience, and a woman whose faith in God was worn proudly on her heart and through her smile. The way that she lifted others, even when she was met with her own obstacles, was the purest example of selfless kindness and compassion for others.

She was a dynamic woman who made her mark on this world, encouraging us all to live vibrantly, bravely, colorfully, and remember to sing loudly even in the rain. Don’t forget to have fun along the journey, dance till you drop, and love deeply every aspect of your life. That’s so Diane!

She was preceded in death by her mother; Esther Mouton; her father, Alton Guidry; her brothers, Steve and Morgan Guidry; as well as widow, Ty Lebrun. She is survived by her siblings; Mitchell Guidry and Joy Cyrus. She has two children Jacob and Alana Hogg. In addition, she has many loving cousins, nieces and nephews.
