Ethel Patin Mestayer
April 9, 1926 — June 5, 2011
A native and lifelong resident of Loreauville, Mrs. Mestayer died Sunday, June 5, 2011 at 1:45 PM at her residence in Loreauville.
Mrs. Mestayer was a loving and caring wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoyed cooking, sewing and spending time with her family. She was a devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Loreauville serving her church community for over 35 years as a Catechism teacher. She also devoted many hours of her personal time tending to the sick at Consolata nursing home in New Iberia. Her faith never faltered, failed, or yielded to self. She was ready to meet the Lord and see her husband again. Our Matriarch is now with Jesus and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
The family would like to thank Heart of Hospice as well as caregivers Judy Bourque, Cheryl Huval, Linda Edwards, Nicole Williams, Latasha Vincent, and Marie Sonnier for their tender, heartwarming, and dedicated service during Ms. Ethels illness.
