Amber Marie Bertrand

Having never met a stranger, Amber Marie Bertrand was a light in this world. As a caring, compassionate and witty daughter, sister, aunt and friend, she departed this life at the age of 39 to be with our Heavenly Father on Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at Our Lake of the Lake Hospital. Amber was surrounded by her family and friends at the time of her death. She fought a courageous battle against Systemic Sclerosis, a rare and incurable autoimmune disorder.

Amber was born and raised in Baton Rouge, attended St. Alphonsus and graduated from Central High School.

Amber is survived by her loving Mother, Debbie Bertrand; father and spouse, Francis (Bubba) and Carol Bertrand; sister and spouse, Bridget and Todd Hodges; stepbrother, Brian Boudreaux; two adored nephews, Beaux and Jaxon Hodges. Amber’s nephews were one of the greatest joys of her life.

Preceded in death by her grandparents, Mark and Anna Belle Couvillon and Francis and Jane Bertrand; and cousin, Erin Terrell.

Pallbearers are Todd Hodges; Beaux Hodges; Lucas Harless; Jared Vicknair; Brian Boudreaux; and Christian Gardner.

Amber will be missed dearly and forever in our hearts.
