Beverly Ann Mouton

Beverly was an incredibly independent woman, well-traveled and well-read, with a curious mind, a generous heart, and a spirit all her own. She devoted much of her life to caring for others as a nurse, working at Our Lady of the Lake as well as in private practice with her favorite doctor, Tip. But her gift for caring reached far beyond her profession. She had a way of seeing the best in every person and every situation, and she made the people around her feel seen, valued, and loved.

A devout Catholic, Beverly’s faith was a guiding force throughout her life. She was deeply involved in her church community, where she gave her time, her presence, and her heart. Her faith was not only something she practiced; it was something she lived through kindness, service, compassion, and love.

She was deeply proud of her Cajun heritage and could tell you the entire history of the Cajuns, right down to every branch of her family tree, with all the love and excitement anyone could muster. To sit with Beverly was to learn something new, something interesting, unexpected, and often wonderfully exciting. She was a keeper of stories, family history, and memories, though she seldom spoke much about herself.

Beverly loved her family deeply, especially her siblings and their children. She loved her parents, Alfred and Henrietta, and carried their memory and influence throughout her life. She loved celebrating special moments with her YaYa cousins. Her love extended to several dogs named Tiger, as well as to her LSU Tigers. For Beverly, Christmas was her favorite time of year, full of light, beauty, and wonder.

She leaves behind a legacy of independence, faith, compassion, family pride, curiosity, sparkle, and love.

Beverly is survived by her sister, Catherine Mouton Larriviere; her sister-in-law, Jane Mouton; her dear friend, Cornelia Washington; and many nieces and nephews who are all better for knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Alfred and Henrietta Mouton; Morris Parrino; Gerald Mouton; Jacqueline Mouton; and Jeanette Coats.

Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and staff at Maison de Lafayette for the compassionate care, kindness, and dignity they showed throughout Beverly’s time there. Their dedication, patience, and support brought comfort not only to her, but also to our entire family. We are deeply thankful for the relationship they built and the exceptional care they provided.

In Beverly’s memory, the family invites those who knew her to share a story, cherish their family history, celebrate Christmas with a little extra sparkle, and cheer loudly for the LSU Tigers.
