It is with the heaviest of hearts that the family of Margaret Anthony LeDoux, age 69, announces her passing on Monday, Nov. 25, 2024.  She was born on Feb. 21, 1955, to Orville and Helen Anthony.  Her visitation will be Saturday, Nov. 30, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Heritage Funeral Home.  Funeral services will be Sunday, Dec. 1, at 2 p.m., with a time of visitation from 9 a.m. until time of service, at Heritage Funeral Home.  The Rev.

Margaret was raised in Moss Bluff, La., and graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1973.  She attended Northeast Louisiana University and returned to Lake Charles.  She then began her 35 year career as a Medical Transcriptionist in the Radiation Oncology Department at St. Patrick’s Hospital where she touched many lives of patients and families.  In 1994, she married Terry LeDoux of Dry Creek, La., becoming a loving, devoted, and amazing mother to Violet, Chris, and Amber.  Margaret never forgot a birthday, anniversary, or holiday by sharing her generous spirit with those she loved.  Of her many hobbies, taking care of her family and friends and spoiling her dogs were the ones she most treasured.  Margaret also loved flowers and taking care of her yard, and could name every plant and flower she had.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Helen Anthony; husband, Terry LeDoux, and granddaughter, Lasyn Hebert.

Margaret had the most generous spirit, giving annually to many local charities that she knew would help others.  In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to these charities that she knew helped others, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Project Joy and Hope of Pasadena, Texas, Dry Creek Baptist Camp, and the Lake Charles Pit Bull Rescue.
