Juliette Langlinais Obituary

Juliette Marie Toups Langlinais – February 6, 1943 – June 6, 2021. Mrs. Juliette Langlinais was called home to her heavenly Father at 11:11 a.m. on June 6, 2021 surrounded by her beloved husband of 57 years, Stephen, and their five children. Juliette, or Julie (as her friends knew her) was born and raised in the community of Henry, Louisiana, and settled with her husband in Erath after they married in 1964. In Erath, they raised their family. As a high school 4-H student, she traveled to Chicago to represent Louisiana in the national cherry pie baking contest, which she won. During that time, she was also a member of the Juvinos, a local singing group, consisting of three young women from Henry High School. They were invited to sing at many locations, including the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans. They also competed and won the Bulldog Blackouts, a talent competition at USL, in 1961. Mrs. Juliette (as she was called by her students) was well known in the community as a dynamic, conscientious, and hard-working educator. Over her 37-year teaching career, most of which was at Erath Elementary as a fourth grade teacher, she influenced many hundreds of children. She had a reputation of excellence, and took several groups of students to the state social studies fair, guiding them to 2 state championships. In addition, she produced and directed several Christmas pageants at Erath Elementary, which involved students on all grade levels. She was recognized as Teacher of the Year twice during this time. Juliette was a member and former president of Delta Kappa Gamma, an organization of leaders in the field of education. She was a talented artist, who created many paintings, including the homesites of both her husband and herself. One of her paintings hangs at Erath City Hall, commemorating the centennial of the town's birth. She also painted the Erath bobcat, which hangs in the entrance of the Erath High School gymnasium, which she proudly dedicated to her school in 1983. Juliette was a talented seamstress who enjoyed creating heirloom dresses and quilts for her grandchildren. She had a dedication to detail and competed in and won various sewing competitions over the years. She honed these skills as a member of local quilting and sewing groups. She greatly enjoyed the company of these women, as well as those in her pokeno groups, with whom she played during and after her career. After retirement, she enjoyed reading novels of Native American culture. She volunteered her time assisting patients at Maison Du Monde, conducting bible study readings for the elderly and infirmed. She was a minister of the Holy Eucharist for the patients as well. A lifelong devout Catholic, Juliette was a member of the Catholic Daughters and Come Lord Jesus prayer group. These women were instrumental in helping to strengthen her faith. The Langlinais family would especially like to thank Adrienne Delcambre, for the love, care, and companionship she provided for Juliette in the late part of her life. Adrienne and Juliette cultivated a rare and special relationship that will never be forgotten and did not go unappreciated. A visitation was held at David's Funeral Home in Erath on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, which began at 9:00 am. A rosary was led by the Catholic Daughters at 11:00 am. A mass of Christian burial was celebrated by Father Andre Metrejean at Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church, at 2:00 pm. Interment followed at the Our Lady of Lourdes Mausoleum. Serving as pallbearers were Juliette's son, Benjamin, and her grandsons: Seth Bourque, Cole Bourque, Mason Granger, Grant Kimbell, and Rhett Kimbell. Honorary pallbearers will be Reed Langlinais and Luke Harris. Juliette is survived by her husband of 57 years, Stephen Joseph Langlinais, and five children: Ann Lori Langlinais (Lynn Broussard), Dana Langlinais Granger (Nathan Granger), Carrie Langlinais Ferrell (Michael Ferrell), Benjamin Langlinais (Cherie Hollis Langlinais), and Bethany Langlinais Harris (Everitt Harris), and a sister, Merlyn Toups Reaux (Relie Reaux). She had 16 grandchildren: Seth (Alicia), Cole (Peggy), and Alison Bourque; Mason, Hannah, Regan and John Eric Granger; Grant and Rhett Kimbell, Dylan Ferrell; Reed Langlinais; Olivia, Luke, Elizabeth and Logan Harris. Four great grandchildren are Kamren and Katelyn Earnest, and David and Asher Jennings. Mrs. Langlinais was preceded in death by her parents, Ted and Lena Toups of Henry, and her grandson, Ross Stephen Granger, who died on November (11) 11, 2016. His jersey number was also 11. Juliette passed away at 11:11 am on Sunday, June 6, 2021. The family believes this is no coincidence, but a miracle and a message. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Juliette's memory to the Ross Granger Memorial Fund, the American Heart Association, or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. You may sign the guest register book and express condolences online at www.davidfuneralhome.org.
