January 19, 1928 - March 22, 2016
Funeral service will be held on Saturday April 2, 2016, 11am at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Lafayette, LA for Ms. Mary “Louise” Charles Crouchet. Interment will be held in Calvary Cemetery Fr. Hampton Davis will conduct the service.
Mary "Louise" Charles Crouchet was born January 19, 1928 in Carencro. LA to the late Amos Charles and Camelia Felix Charles.
Louise was a loving mother of 11 children. She was a hard working woman who raised her children (with the help of her mother-in-law) despite her husband passing at an early age. She was the epitome of strength, holding her family together. Her life was truly all about family. She enjoyed cooking and dancing... inviting family and friends over to have a good time swinging out to some R. Kelly. Everyone was always welcome at 522.
"Mom"... it's no mistake at all it's what everyone calls her. Not only has she been a mother to her 11 birth children, but also her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family friends who she consider family anyway and also strangers who became friends. She was a caring person who was always there to help anyone in need. She will definitely be greatly missed.
