Louella Mary (Anselmi) Dardar, 79, passed away on Friday, May 19, 2023, in Mena, Arkansas. Louella was born on March 20, 1944, to the late Clayman Andre Anselmi and Helen (Falgoust) Anselmi in Golden Meadow, Louisiana. She was a homemaker all her life towards her family, but she also owned a small thrift store in her early years.
She loved to play bingo and she and Raleigh had a twice-a-week bingo date night, but what brought her the most joy is her grandchildren and family.

She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Raleigh Dardar; one son, Donald Corkran, Jr.; one stepson, Raleigh P. and wife Phebe Dardar; one daughter, Wanda Plaisance; one stepdaughter, Lisa and husband Thomas Tegart; one sister, Louverda Terrebonne; one brother, Gary Anselmi; ten grandchildren, Jordon, Jacie, Jaclyn, Sarah, Lori, Jett, Dustin, Devin, Austin, and Lucas; 14 great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
