Cecelia Estelle Aaron Pierot Skipper was born September 18, 1934, in Monroe, LA to the union of Ethel Estelle and William Edward Aaron.  She passed away on June 11, 2024 in Ruston, at the age of 89.

Cecelia was blessed with three sons: Bill, Mike and Phil, and they were blessed to have her as their mom.  No matter what we, her sons, convey to you, we’ll fall short of who she was to us.  Mom loved us unconditionally everyday through good times and tough times.  Mom taught us right from wrong at an early age.  She was our rock in our family.  Anytime you needed her, she was there—baseball games, golf games, etc.  She adored her three boys without question.  Somehow Mom and Lee kept up with us and taught us the values of life and that hard work really does pay off.  Short version-Don’t ever give up on anything.

Cecelia loved spending time camping at Lake Claiborne with her husband, Lee.  She also enjoyed traveling and beach trips with her sisters and she was an awesome cook.  Cecelia was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, H. V. “Bill” Pierot and A. L. “Lee” Skipper and a brother, Thomas Joseph Coleman.

Cecelia is survived by her sons: Billy Pierot and wife Debbie of Calhoun, LA, Mike Pierot of West Monroe, LA and Phillip Pierot of Ruston, LA; stepsons: Ray Skipper and wife Ginny of Minden, LA and Scott Skipper and wife Deborah of Los Angeles, CA and stepdaughter, Cyndi Skipper Alsawas of Los Angeles, CA; eleven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.  She is also survived by sisters: Vivian Joe Meinert and husband Tom, Beatrice Audrey Link, Nore Estelle Eppinette, Doris Kathleen Peach, Sylvia Audrey Henderson and husband Donald, and Phyllis Gwendaline Adams and husband Mike; and brothers: Sylven Lenore Coleman II and Joseph Donald Coleman and wife Devona.
