ISOLA GARDEMAL JAUBERT
When
one finds a worthy wife,
her
value is far beyond pearls.
Her
husband, entrusting his heart to her,
has
an unfailing prize.
She
brings him good, and not evil,
all
the days of her life ...
She
is clothed with strength and dignity
and
she laughs at the days to come.
She
opens her mouth in wisdom
and
her tongue is kindly counsel.
She
watches the conduct of her household
and
eats not her food in idleness.
Her
children rise up and praise her;
her
husband, too, extols her.'
"Many
are the women of proven worth,
but
you have excelled them all ."
Charm
is deceptive and beauty fleeting;
the
women who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give
her a reward of her labors,
and
let her works praise her at the city gate.

PROVERBS IX.
The
Valiant Woman of the Scriptures is a model for Isola Gardemal Jaubert, who
was as near a member of the Knights of Columbus as a lady can become. The
wife and chief mainstay of Charles C. Jaubert, she shared her husband's
enthusiasm for our Order, and was his constant companion in his many
travels on behalf of the Fourth Degree.
Msgr.
Cramers Assembly enjoyed her special patronage for many years, and even
after her husband's death she maintained an active interest in assembly
affairs, and participated in as many of the assembly's social activities
as was possible for her.
Mrs.
Jaubert passed away in 1980. A native of St. Martinville, she lived in
Lake Charles for 61 years. She was a charter members of the Catholic
Daughter courts at Immaculate Conception, St. Margaret and Our Lady Queen
of Heaven Parishes, and in 1979 she was cited as having served as a member
of the Catholic Daughters longer than any other Louisiana member, for 60
years. She was also a 60-year member of the Altar Society in the
above-named three parishes, was a leader of the
St.
John Vianney Club for 40 years, and was active in the Sacred Heart
-League, the Lake Charles Deanery Human Relations Council and the Apostle-
ship of Prayer.
In
recognition of her special interest in the Fourth Degree, Msgr. Cramers
Assembly has inaugurated the Isola Gardemal Jaubert Memorial Award, to be
presented annually to the wife or the widow of an assembly member who has
emulated her enthusiasm for and her service to the assembly.
