Which must be why anyone who gets remotely close to Trosclair becomes a volunteer, too.

Her late husband, Paul, was involved with the Masons and Shriners. Her children, Tiffany, 32, and Quentin, 29, grew up in Service League and are active volunteers as adults, she said.

Volunteerism is something parents should pass along to their children, she said.

“Kids follow in their parents footsteps,” she said.

Trosclair’s love of helping and dedication to children have created special memories for some girls in the area who dreamed of participating in CavOILcade, but could not afford it.

If a girl walked into the office without means to participate, Trosclair simply made a few calls and found sponsors, dresses and anything else needed to make the dream a reality.

“From simple things like helping a young lady find adress or a sponsor to be able to participate in CavOILcade to more complex things, she is always willing,” Legnon wrote in her letter. “She works with more that 30 young ladies each year and you can ask any of them how good she is.”

There’s one girl Trosclair has big plans for — her granddaughter McKenzie. Though the tot only recently learned to walk, she already has a sash and a dress for when she will be old enough to compete in 2023 CavOILcade pageant.

Legnon said Trosclair gives more of herself than many people do, but doesn’t like any of the credit.

“They know I don’t like attention,” she admitted. “I don’t like to brag.”
