Born in Rayne, LA on July 13, 1939, she was a patient, gentle and loving mother, devoted to our family. She was a cancer survivor but always found joy in all of life particularly in celebrating her faith and her Cajun heritage with the food, the music and dancing. She was always the anchor of our family and we will miss her.

She is survived by her children, Jerry Chauvin and wife, Ruby, of Brownsville TN, Kim Kelley of Pt Neches, Daren Chauvin and wife, Dawn of Boerne, TX and Angel Pinder of Beaumont; 14 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; and sister, Barbara Gauthier of Nederland.
