Sarah "Mickey" Dupre'

Private services for Sarah “Mickey” Dupre’, 80, of Lufkin will be held at Garden of Memories Memorial Park Sunset Mausoleum. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Carroway Funeral Home.

Mickey was born August 18, 1943 in Monroe, Louisiana to Edna and John E. Shaughnessy, Sr. She peacefully passed away in Lufkin, Texas Sunday, July 14, 2024. She was married to Anderson “Andy” Dupre’ on April 1, 1962. Through this union and their life together they had two sons, Mark and Sean Dupre’. During that time she earned her Associates degree in Nursing from Angelina College. She worked in the Emergency Room at Woodland Heights Medical Center. Her selfless, compassionate and reassuring touch was shared with 1000’s of patients over her near 40 year career. Upon her retirement, she was a long-time volunteer at the Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter and helped adopt and foster numerous cats and dogs over the years.

Mickey was an authentic, no bull, straight shooter and a trooper who could roll with the punches even until the end. She loved photography, arts and crafts, and completing projects with her four grandchildren. You could find her on Monday nights playing pool with her Billiards group and on Thursday afternoons playing cards with her Bridge group. She enjoyed country folk-rock music and one of her favorite artists was John Denver.

Mickey was truly a blessing to all those who knew her. She cared deeply for all of her friends and neighbors. She was a faithful member of the Lunch Bunch in her community at PineCrest and will be greatly missed.

Survivors include her brother, John E. Shaughnessy, Jr., son, Mark and his wife, Susie and their two sons, Caleb and Malachi; her son, Sean and his two daughters, Alex and Claire, and daughter-in-law, June Berry Dupre’.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother John E. Shaughnessy, Sr. and Edna Shaughnessy; and her husband, Anderson “Andy” Dupre’.
