Barbara Mathieu Underwood

June 15, 1932 — April 8, 2021

Funeral service for Mrs. Barbara Mathieu Underwood, 88, of Monroe, LA, will be held at 2:00 P.M. Tuesday, April 13, 2021, in the Mausoleum Chapel of Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery with Rev. Mark Fenn officiating. Interment will follow in Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home Sterlington Rd. Monroe.
Barbara was born in Kilgore, Texas, during the oil boom days of the early 1930’s. You could see wooden oil field derricks as far as the eyes could see. Later, as her father continued his oil field career, the family moved to Jena, Louisiana, in the late 1940’s. Finally, they ended up settling down in Delhi, Louisiana, to drill for oil and gas in the Sun Oil Field. There, she met her husband Quillie Underwood.
They retired as co-owners of the Underwood Oil and Gas Company. They were married for 56 years, until his death in 2008. For the remainder of those years, Barbara was strong and optimistic, beating 3rd stage colon cancer, a stroke, and surviving two heart attacks. She was a pet lover and an avid Saints fan. She gained much relief when they finally won the Super Bowl. Special thanks should go to her son, David, for being her caregiver for the past 13 years, especially the last four.
She is preceded in death by her father, Alpheus Mathieu; mother, Winifred Lewis Mathieu; brother, Thomas Mathieu, Sr.; and niece, Stacey Mathieu Boudreaux.
She is survived by her sons, Bobby Underwood and David Underwood; daughter, Theresa Underwood Kelly; grandsons, Ryan Cheek and John Patrick Kelly, Jr.; and granddaughters, Madisyn Underwood and Mary Ellen Fatheree.
Memorials may be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
