Angelena Jean-Louis Carmouche was born on August 17, 1925, to Henry and Roberta Jean-Louis in Youngsville. Angelena was one daughter of seven children. In 1946 Angelena was joined in holy matrimony to Claby Francis Carmouche at The Shrine of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Rayne, where she remained a devoted member until her passing.
She honored her commitment caring for her disabled husband until his death in 1977, afterwhich time she enjoyed visiting her children in California, Texas, Oregon, Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky. Her most adventurous side took her to Montego Bay, Jamaica, in 2005 where she celebrated her 80th birthday.
She was a talented and dedicated homemaker and an exceptional cook. Among her many dishes were her blissful sweet dough coconut, lemon meringue, and sweet potato pies. Angelena loved gardening, sewing, fishing/crabbing, traveling and caring for her many pets.
Angelena lived out her later years with her loving son, Ralph (Harriet), in Memphis, Tennessee, and passed away on Thursday, June, 27, 2019 at Baptist Memorial Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee.
Left to cherish her memories are her children, Patricia A. Grigsby (Robert), Beverly C. Woods (Charles), Marilyn Carmouche, Frederick B. Carmouche (Beverly), Nathan T. Carmouche (Lynn), Greta J. Carmouche, Ralph E. Carmouche (Harriet) and Cheryl M. Carmouche; seven grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
Angelena Jean-Louis Carmouche was preceded in death by her husband, Claby; parents, Henry and Roberta; her sisters, Rose L. Mouton and Annie L. Barclay; brothers; Henry Jr., Amos, John and Luke; and several aunts and uncles.
