Nita Langlois Mayeux

"I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light." Our beloved mother, sister, aunt, granny and friend was delivered safe in the arms of her Lord and Savior on Monday, Feb. 26, 2007. She was a resident of Southside Gardens Assisted Living. Her kind, gentle demeanor was appreciated by all who knew her. Her favorite pastimes included sewing, watching "Wheel of Fortune" and defeating all opponents at Scrabble. She delighted in making homemade rolls for family gatherings. At Christmas, Granny filled her tins with divinity, fudge and pralines. For her beloved grandchildren, an everlasting sparkle filled her eyes.
