Connie Sue (Carlin) Bourque

New Iberia - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Connie Bourque, who entered eternal rest on May 19, 2023.

A memorial gathering will be held from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at Greene Funeral Home, 802 Weldon Street in New Iberia.

Connie was born in Franklin, Louisiana on September 15, 1966.  She was the first of six daughters and one son born to parents Elridge and Betty Carlin.  In 1984 she married Jimmy, the love of her life. She loved him so, that she had a special tattoo of his initials on her finger.

She was, a devoted wife, mother, sister, a loyal friend, and Nana who adored her grand babies.  Connie was also one tough cookie, with a free spirit who enjoyed heading out on the open road without a destination while listening to all genres of music.  Connie loved to dance and especially cherished each dance with her dad.

In her free time Connie enjoyed expressing her creativity through her hobbies that included crocheting, sewing, and jewelry making.

Connie’s absolute favorite color was red.  We invite you to join her family in the celebration of her life by wearing red for her memorial gathering.

She is survived by her husband of 39 years Jimmy Bourque, Jr.; daughters Kristina Sullivan (Derik) of Coteau Holmes and Karli Bourque (Hunter) of Cecilia; son Brock Bourque of Coteau Holmes; mother Betty Aucoin of Charenton; sisters Belinda Daigle (Gilbert) of Jeanerette, Nannette Robin (James) of  Milton, Tonia Cole (Scott) of Ponchatoula, Shannon Pontiff (Michael) of Franklin; brother Elridge Carlin, Jr. of Charenton; Grandchildren Devun Bourque, Denim Sullivan, Brooklyn Bourque, Harli Rushing and Karter Rushing.

Preceded in death by her father Elridge Joseph Carlin, Sr., and sister Chantelle Conyers.
