Louella Theriot Mouton

Louella Theriot Mouton passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 17, 2022 at her home in River Ridge, Louisiana. Louella, age 93, was born on April 13, 1928 in Erath Louisiana and was a devoted and loving wife to the deceased Philip D. Mouton for 71 years. She was a dedicated mother to her three children and lived a full and active life and was a special friend to all whose lives she touched.

Louella lived in Erath Louisiana graduating from high school, living with family until the age of 17 when she and Phil married, her husband for 71 years. She and Phil departed for California; newly married at the age of 17, in the early 4O’s when he took a job working as a deckhand on a medical ship. His later employment brought him and Louella to New Orleans where they settled down and raised a family in River Ridge in 1953. She was a devoted member of St. Matthew the Apostle Church, the local Homemakers Association, assisted with Cub Scouts and a Girl Scout leader. She was a longtime member of the local bowling league and enjoyed spending time with her friends, including Rowena DeLoach, her longtime and dear friend. She loved to cook, crochet, and assist the elderly, but most of all, she loved her family and instilled her children with strong values that have served them well. She will be missed by her family and friends.

Louella was the daughter of, and preceded in death, by Elmick Theriot and Celima Soirez of Erath, Louisiana; the sister of her deceased siblings, Louise Libersat and Stella Menard, and brother Emick Theriot.
