Giulliam Pierre, Jr.

On Sunday, June 12, 2022, Guilliam Pierre, Jr. was called to his eternal resting place. While we are saddened by his transition, we know that God loves him best. Guilliam was born on January 21, 1930 to the late Katherine and Guilliam Pierre, Sr.

He married the late Anna Mae Pierre on January 25, 1958, and to this union, 4 children were born. Leotha Pollard (Albert, devoted son-in-law), Louester Boyd (Cassie), Gilliam Pierre (Tracey), and Gregory Pierre (Vanessa).

Guilliam was one of nine children: Alvin Pierre and the late Yvonne Davis, Ida Pierre, Rosa Marshall, Theresa Martin, Florence Burnette, Preston Pierre, and Alexander Pierre

Guilliam served in the United States Army from 1951-1953 as a private. He was a devoted laborer in the workforce for well over 30 years before retiring at the age of 65. Throughout his years in the workforce, Mr. P, as he was affectionately known in the parish worked at Lays Potato Chip Factory, River Parish Maintenance at Monsanto, and the St. Charles Parish School Board. Baptized at an early age, Guilliam was a devoted member of The Historic Bell Baptist Church until his death; he wore the title, Father of the Church, proudly and was a devoted member of the choir until he was physically unable to do so.
