Leora was a lifelong resident of Lafayette. Born in 1927 as the first of six children to Anna Mae and Valrie Domingue, Leora was a graduate of Lafayette High School and Spencer Business College. Leora married John Fuselier at 20 years old, and they had two children, Ken and Nancy.

She worked as a secretary for Dudley J. LeBlanc and his medicinal product lines for ten years before taking a position with City Judge Kaliste Saloom Jr. in 1959. She was his legal secretary for 44 years before retiring in 2003.

She enjoyed her children and being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and relied on her faith throughout her life for comfort and guidance. She was a parishioner of St. Genevieve Catholic Church.

Some of her most cherished memories were traveling, gardening, and looking after her great-grandchild. Her family will miss her dearly.

The family requests that visitation be held Friday between the hours of 8:00 am - 2:00 pm. A rosary will be led by Catherine Luu at 11:00 am.
