Norma Trahan Obituary

Norma Authement Trahan
Norma Authement Trahan, age 88, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at The Suites at Sugar Mill Point. Norma was a native of Montegut and a longtime resident of Houma.

Norma is survived by her son, Drukell Trahan and wife Theresa; daughters, Deidre Holmes and husband Wayne, Adele Weber, Danielle Vauclin and husband Brent; grandchildren, Kristin Kelley, Kandice Kelley, Shelby Holmes, Tristen Pellegrin; great-grandchildren, Madison Gonzales, Kaelyn Kelley.
Norma is preceded in death by her husband of sixty-one years, Eugene Trahan; parents, Yvest and Adele Avet Authement; sisters, Beulah Crappell, Francis Eschete, Rita Robichaux, Theresa Dedeaux; brothers, J.Y., Roland, Gerald, and Beatty Authement.
Norma was a beautiful soul who loved her family dearly. She was blessed to be a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved music, dancing with her husband, singing, spelling bees, cross stitching, spending time with her friends and family. She retired from Entergy (LP&L) with thirty years of service. She was active in Montegut including the Carnival Club, The Lioness Club, and Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Norma and her husband Eugene were the life of the dance floor. They were a power couple who could cut a rug on the dance floor. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Norma has been reunited with her family who passed before her and now rests in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
