Scott, LA - A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday August 29, 2025, at 10:00am at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Lafayette, for Hugh Bernard Landreneau, 83, who died Monday August 18, 2025, at The Ellington in Rayne Rev. Fr. Thomas Voorhies pastor of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church will be the Celebrant of the Funeral Mass. In addition to the usual love of family and friends, Hugh had two great passions in life - dairy farming and fishing. Hugh's early years were spent in Ville Platte and his life changed significantly when he and family moved to a large property on the outskirts of town, where his introduction to the first passion would begin on his father's dairy farm. While studying dairy husbandry at University of Southwestern Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette) Hugh worked at the USL Creamery. Afterwards, Hugh worked at multiple dairy related jobs, including Borden Dairy Co. of Louisiana - Lafayette. Hugh's dream of running a dairy farm came true in 1971, when he moved the family to a property in Bristol, Louisiana, where he successfully grew and maintained a herd of Holsteins and Jersey cattle. In 1978, Hugh decided to return to Borden's, where he remained until finally retiring in December 1994. Soon after, Hugh decided to expand upon his other life passion - fishing - and learned how to produce artificial fishing lures for his own use. In 1995, Hugh decided to pursue a post-retirement business - Basin Jigs - which provided locally made fishing lures to various stores and bait shops in the Acadiana area. In addition to his work with Basin Jigs, Hugh spent the final years of his life enjoying gardening and cheering for the Ragin' Cajuns, LSU Tigers and of course, the New Orleans Saints. Survivors include wife, Betty Cole Landreneau, sons, Kevin B. Landreneau, and Donovan M. and wife Deena Landreneau, his three grandchildren Lauren and Nicholas Mueller, Amelia and husband Jake Arceneaux, and Celeste, mother of his children, Nazel Mary Deville, sister, Ellen and husband Dale Thibodeaux, brother, Eric Landreneau, sister-in-law, Lynn Landreneau. Hugh was preceded in death by parents, Otis and Clamie Fusilier Landreneau, brothers, Carol and wife Sharon Landreneau, and, Gary Landreneau, and his sister-in-law, Paula Landreneau.
