Ray John Folse, a lifelong resident of Morgan City, passed away on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, at Teche Regional Medical Center. He was 85 years old.
Mr. Ray was a quiet man who loved his family, adored his children, and cherished his grandchildren. He was mild of manner and didn’t seek attention. He was a man who knew his worth and had a firm handshake. Considered a doctor of mechanics, everyone knew to contact Mr. Ray for help with machinery issues. Mr. Ray proudly served the United States Army in the Korean Conflict.
Ray leaves to cherish his memory his son, Kim Folse and his wife, Michelle Charitat, of Morgan City; his daughter, Jaimie Rae Folse and her significant other, Steve McNail, of Houma; two grandchildren, Captain Andrew Ray Folse of the United States Army stationed in Kuwait, and Jacob Maurice Folse, M.D. and his wife, Kayla, of Jackson, Mississippi; and two sisters, Eva Mae Nini of Berwick and Angelle Governale of Morgan City.
With his passing, Ray has been reunited with his loving wife, Beverly Prevost Folse; his parents, Albert John Folse Sr. and Emma Landry; and one brother, Albert Folse Jr.
