Mrs. Verly Mae Mouton, a lifelong resident of Morrow, La transitioned to dwell in the house of the Lord on Saturday January 1, 2022, at the age of 91. She was born in 1930 in Plaisance Louisiana to the parents of John and Hazel Lavigne. She was the oldest of ten siblings. Mrs. Mouton was a loving mother and a devout Christian.

She was baptized, made her first communion, and confirmation in church. She entered into holy matrimony with Joseph Earl Mouton who is now deceased. Her first domestic job was at St. Peter’s Catholic Church. She had the honor of serving several priests during her domestic watch. She was also hired by private homes because of her skillset.
