Dorothy "Dot" Stanford Vice softly entered eternal life on Friday, December 12, 2025, at 79 years of age, after a brief illness. Dot was born in Panama City, Florida, on February 7, 1946, and has been a resident of Bayou Dularge in Houma, Louisiana, for most of her life.

Family and friends are invited to Dot's Memorial Mass on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at 9am, at Maria Immaculata Catholic Church in Houma, LA., officiated by Rev. Joey Piola.

Dot is survived by her three loving children, Timothy Vice & wife, Monique Tauzin Vice of Youngsville; Sandra (Sandy) Vice of Houma; and Thomas Vice & wife, Alexis Aucoin Vice of Houma; four grandchildren, Cad Pellegrin (Kara), Brooke Summers, Scott David Vice (Jessica), and Nicholas Vice; five great-grandchildren, Cecily Pellegrin, Laurel Pellegrin, Marin Pellegrin, Weston John Vice and Ivy Louise Vice; and a special niece, Sheri Arena (Joe); as well as numerous other dear nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, John A. Vice; grandson, Talmon John Vice; parents, Leland and Ida Stanford; three brothers and a sister; Louis Lichenstein, Donald Litchenstein, Ray Stanford and Betty Job.

Dot was a devout Catholic involved with both St. Eloi and Maria Immaculata church parishes in Terrebonne Parish. She was affectionately known for shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was passionate about her faith and the many friends she associated with from various bible studies, morning masses, pilgrimages, and retreats. Along with her unwavering faith in God, her journey on this earth was marked by unconditional love and compassion for her family as she enjoyed the role of wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother most of all. She had a genuine way of making each one of them feel like they were the absolute most special in her eyes. Dot's warm and loving spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

The Vice family wishes to thank Dr. Richard Haydel & Dr. Scott Haydel, The Haydel Family Practice, the TGMC 3rd floor nursing staff, the Dularge Fire Department, and last but not least, the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary, who brought so much joy to her life.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Dorothy Vice.
