Mona Love Fontenot

Mona L. Fontenot, 74, of Lake Charles passed away June 27th, 2016 at a local hospital. Born in Siler City, North Carolina, she was the oldest child of the late Everett and Inez Johnson. She and her two brothers were raised in Charleston, South Carolina and were each other’s best playmates.

Mona had a great love of family and was very close to her children and grandchildren. After 30 years of service as a phone operator, she retired from Bellsouth. She was an active member of First Baptist Church in Moss Bluff and loved lunch with her friends from church and taking trips with the church groups. Although Mona was private by nature, she always had a kind word for those who knew her and a sweet nature that those who knew and loved her will greatly miss.

Mona is survived by her son; Bryan (Jennifer) Fontenot, daughter; Kimberly (Joe) Peshoff, grandchildren; Nicholas Fontenot, Jacob Fontenot, Tyler Peshoff, and Tanner Peshoff, brothers; Johnny (Joyce) Johnson and Michael (Sue) Johnson, her beloved pet and companion; Barney, and many extended family and friends.
