Evelyn was born in Abbeville, Louisiana, on April 5, 1929, to the late Clophe LeLeaux and the late Edolie Broussard LeLeaux. She passed away peacefully at the age of 86 Sunday, June 14, 2015, at Teche Regional Medical Center with her family by her side.
Evelyn, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many, was a longtime resident of Bayou Vista. Some of her favorite pastimes were playing Scrabble, camping, traveling, sewing and crocheting, and playing Skip-Bo with her dear friends, Jeanette and Celina. She was also a wonderful caregiver and a woman of great talent, which she used to bring joy to those around her. Whether it was through the beauty of her flower garden, which she loved tending, through the gift of music, playing her guitar and harmonica, or through her wonderful cooking and baking, feeding family and decorating family members wedding cakes, she used her talents to make the world a little brighter. Her greatest joys in life, though, came from making memories with her family, such as sitting with her grandchildren hunting for four-leaf clovers, making their favorite snack of rice and milk with sugar, and just simply being with her children and family. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Survivors include her children, Sydonia “Dawn” M. Hebert, Frances Dean M. Hebert and husband, Hillary, and Billydan Thomas Morgan Sr. and wife, Lisa; six grandchildren, Ronnie Estay, April Grice, Scott Estay, Chad Dupuis Sr., Jennifer Merriam and Billydan Morgan Jr.; 14 great-grandchildren, Bridget Taylor, Josie Estay, Zoie Estay, Alexis Estay, Harley Estay, Tori Estay, Chloe Estay, Ali Estay, Ivi Estay, C.J. Dupuis, Colby Dupuis, Jordyn Johnson, Shelby Merriam and Brantly Merriam; one great-great-grandchild, Maelyn Taylor; and her siblings, Paul LeLeaux, Allie Touchet, Dorothy Chauvin, Rodney LeLeaux, Bill LeLeaux, Lawrence LeLeaux, Clophe LeLeaux Jr., Cheryl Ducote and Mary Ann Davis.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Willie Thomas Morgan; her grandson, William John Morgan; her parents, Clophe and Edolie Broussard LeLeaux; and her son-in-law, Gene Hebert.
Serving as pallbearers will be Billydan Morgan Jr., Scott Estay, Ronnie Estay, Chad Dupuis Sr., Colby Dupuis and Brantly Merriam.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to all of her caregivers at the Patterson Health Care Center, the staff of Southern Care Hospice, and the Sixth Floor Staff of Teche Regional Medical Center, especially Kristen, Dan, Wesley, Tabby and Emily.
