Lois Mary Brouillette

With hearts both heavy and full of cherished memories, we announce the passing of Lois Brouillette, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, who departed this life on May 5, 2025 at the age of 79. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 21, 1945, she carried a spark of genuine warmth and wit that brightened the lives of all who knew her.

Lois was a devoted mother to her two daughters, Elizabeth Jones and her husband, Bradd Jones, and Yvette “Cissie” Leonard and her husband, Nathan Leonard. Her love knew no bounds, and she poured her heart into nurturing her family with unwavering support and affection.

Her role as "Mawmaw" was one she embraced with immense joy. She leaves behind four adoring grandchildren, Amy Green (Tyler), Claire Thibodaux (Mason), Erica Leonard, and Darren Jones, who were the recipients of her endless love, playful spirit, and the most delightful birthday poems. These weren't just verses; they were heartfelt expressions of her unique bond with each of them, treasured keepsakes that will be reread for years to come.

The family circle extended to include two great-grandchildren, Cohen and Benjamin, who brought a new wave of joy and wonder into her life. She cherished every moment spent with them, her eyes twinkling with delight at their laughter and discoveries.

Lois was a woman of remarkable authenticity. What you saw was what you got – a genuine, kind, and spirited soul who never pretended to be anyone other than herself. Her quick wit could bring a smile to anyone's face, and her honest nature earned her the respect and admiration of all who crossed her path.

Her tradition of writing personalized poems for each family member on their birthdays was a testament to her thoughtfulness and creativity. These poetic gifts were more than just words; they were expressions of her deep love and understanding, a unique way she celebrated the individuality of each person she held dear.

Lois' legacy is one of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family. She will be deeply missed by her daughters and sons-in-law, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her witty remarks and heartfelt poems will live on in our memories, a constant reminder of the extraordinary woman she was.
