Ula Mae Touchet Meaux
January 7, 1929 - December 14, 2021
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 17, at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church honoring the life of Ula Mae Touchet Meaux, 92, who died Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021, at Maison De Lafayette.
She will be laid to rest at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cemetery with Reverend Roland Vaughn officiating the services.
Ula was known for her beloved names Maw, Aunt Chula and Sis. She will be remembered for her strong love for family, large circle of cherished friends and love of gardening, sewing and family gatherings.
Ula was also always ready for any travel experience with friends or family. In earlier years, she was employed in various jobs in Kaplan, Crowley and Holly Beach and volunteered as a “pink lady” serving others.
She is survived by her daughter, Marlene Olsen (Brian) of Crowley; her grandsons, Ryan Meaux (Ann) of New Iberia and Philip Meaux of Lafayette; her brothers, Gerald Touchet (Linda) of Sulphur and Richard Touchet (Jean) of Kaplan; her sister-in-law, Lena Touchet Frederick (AJ) of Kaplan; her daughter-in-law, Velta Meaux of Lafayette; her great grandchildren, Chris Meaux, Mike Meaux, Kayla Meaux and Amberly Meaux; and her great-great grandchildren, Elan and Elijah Franco.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of over 50 years, Paul D. “P.D.” Meaux; her son, Douglas Meaux; her parents Ophe and Lillian Touchet; her brother, Edward Touchet; and many other cherished family members.
The family is extremely thankful to all the staff, nurses, CNA’s, and housekeepers of Maison de Lafayette, who for eight years became Ula’s second family. The compassion and love they provided to Ula is forever appreciated.
In addition, the family is grateful for the kindness of Hospice of Acadiana nurses who lovingly supported Ula and family in her final days.
The family had requested that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Kaplan, 300 N. Eleazar Ave., on Thursday, Dec. 16, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. with a rosary being prayed at 6 p.m.; Friday, Dec. 17, from 9 a.m. until the procession departs for the church at 10:45 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of Acadiana.
