Barbara Lynette Balfantz Bovia
Barbara Lynette Balfantz Bovia, 86, a native of Maurepas, LA and resident of Azalea Estates, went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 5, 2023.
Lynette was born on June 13, 1936 to William (Willie) and Edna Penalber Balfantz in Maurepas. After her school years, she married Eugene (Gene) Bovia, Sr. and became a devoted wife and mother to their four children.
Lynette loved serving her Lord and reading the Bible faithfully. She very much enjoyed cleaning and keeping a beautiful home. She liked to grow plants, especially flowers. She was an encourager and liked to help out at her church where she taught Sunday School. Her loving, kind words and sweet smile will be greatly missed by those who had the joy of knowing her.
Lynette is preceded in death by her late husband, Gene, her parents, her granddaughter, Emma Grace Bovia, and her siblings Doris Mitchell, Billy, Albert, Carroll and V.J. Balfantz.
