As per the obituaries online, she died suddenly of unknown causes. However, the death certificate shows someone strangled her to death.

She lives through her children, Jamie Pourciau (Melissa), Wendy Woodworth(Richard), Kasie Pourciau, and nine grandchildren, Tyler Saizon, Rich Woodworth, Aliyah Woodworth, BJ Russell, Brantley Russell, Amelia Russell, Jaelyn Pourciau, Marianna Pourciau, and JR Pourciau.

Likewise, the living members include her fathers, Clebert Boudreaux and Rick Noland, her brother, Lucius Boudreaux (Kristina), and sisters, Dorothy Chutz, Margaret Morgan, Lori Cash (Steve), Lora Clouatre (Sean), Crystal Glad (Mike) and Renee Boudreaux.

Similarly, the family members who died before Mary are her mother, Delores Noland, her step-mom, Margie Boudreaux, her grandparents, CN and Irene Kleinpeter, Clebert and Aline Boudreaux, and her nephews, Dustin Chutz and Nicholas Morgan.

Her memorial service was on 9 April 2021 at Household of Faith Church, located in Mt Zion Campus, 17683 Hwy 933, Prairieville. Renaissance Funeral Services, Gonzales, Louisana provided the services.

However, Mary’s family questioned the cause of her death, and The West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s office took the case to a grand jury on 12 January 2022. Many of her family members labeled her death a homicide on Woody Overton’s podcast, Real-Life Real Crime.

They even offered a $10 thousand reward for any information leading to an arrest.

Mary Pourciau Husband

Mary Pourciau’s husband is Gerald Peanut Pourciau Jr.

On 20 January 2022, police arrested him on second-degree murder charges and obstruction of justice. After that, the deputies put him into the West Baton Rouge Detention Center with no bond at the moment.

The officials finally solved the case that came to the spotlight after Woody Overton’s high-profile podcast about a week ago. West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Mike Cazes stated that the investigation was not a cold one, and now they got the result.

There is a limited amount of data on Gerald, including his educational qualifications and professional background. Nonetheless, we know that his age is about 43 years. Whatsmore, the guy doesn’t seem to be on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.
