Elvira Kuhn Obituary

Elvira "Vera" Kuhn loved the Lord and the Lord loved her, so much so that he called her home February 6, 2020. She was a vibrant 85 year old woman born in Tilden, Texas. She had many medical struggles that would knock most people off their feet but NOT HER! She didn't let anything hold her down. She stood up and she danced then she would dance some more! She couldn't stop dancing even if she wanted to. Music moves her and she moves those around her. Nothing ever stopped her from living her best life and taking any opportunity to enjoy the little things. More than anything she loved her family. She was blessed with a huge family and they were blessed to be loved by her. She never gave up on anyone , family , friends, or friends who became her family and she never forgot to call you on your birthday. Vera will be missed dearly by her children; Abel Garcia (Trudy Garcia), Mary Hampton (Noah Jr. Hampton), Elizabeth Garcia, and Albert Garcia (Lavada Garcia), her grandchildren; Carlton ""Boo"" Garcia, Chrystal Langley, Stephanie Williams, Gina Williams, Erica Garcia, Corey Hampton, Ariel Gonzales, Allie Garcia, Jasmine Hampton, Mario Garcia,and Miguel Garcia, her great grandchildren; Kyron White, Laurezn Baker, Gage Lopez, Jade Lopez, Leah Tate, Hope Tate , Hunter Langley, Sierra Folmar, Trey Phillips, Kody Phillips, Ethan Wisner, Alyssa Whittington, Ashlyn Garcia, Cole Williams, Ava Williams, Jaydalynn Helmer , Jaylee Helmer, Hunter Plaisance, Summer Plaisance, and Aleczander ""Alec"" Gonzales, 12 Great Great grandchildren and counting; Her brother Raymond Gutierrez; 3 sisters ; Eva White, Phyllis Caygle, Margaret Clark and countless other family and friends. She will be greeted back home into the loving arms of those who were called home before her. Mother, Jesusa Gutierrez; father, Alberto Gutierrez; brother Joe Gutierrez; and husband Michael Kuhn. The world is a little dimmer without this bright Yellow Rose from Texas. The family invites anyone who wants to join them in remembering their shining light at Westside Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 5101 Westbank Expy. Marrero, LA at 1:00 pm with visitation from 9:00 am until service time. Interment will be in St. Pius Mausoleum in Crown Point, LA. Online condolences available at www.westsideleitzeagan.com.

February 6, 2020 was the hardest day of my life. You are the strongest person I have ever met. Always there to pick me up. Just laying in the bed with u when I was having a bad day made me feel at ease. There have been many nights these last 4 years I jumped in my truck having a bad day to run to you and realized u were not here. So if those days I´ll go to ur resting place and just sit there with u and talk!! I know u can hear me. I know u can hear me everyday no matter where I am... I wish I could have been stronger for you that day. The kids miss u so much!! They miss packing a bag and going over to grandmas for the weekend. They lost someone so special to them that day. Jaylee is hurting inside and needing some tender love and words from you!! I´m there for her but it´s not the same as your love and support. Hunter says the sweetest and most heart felt things all the time to honor you. I can tell on his bad days he wants to call maw maw, just hearing ur voice makes us feel all better. Jayda is graduating in May. She has started attending college last month. Working and thriving. She has a boyfriend. He´s a good kid. Works on the river and just completed a month long school for his captain license... Summer is Summer! Still my wild child! Very smart and does amazing art work. Which we should have guess cause she loved to draw all the time and maw maws. She´s one tough cookie but very loving and caring!! I think u would be proud of them all... We´re all doing our best. It´s so hard to go through all these milestones with the kid and you not be here. I definitely thought you would still with us when Jayda walked across the stage. I guess you will be with us, walking right beside her and leading her in ways she doesn´t even realize. I feel bad when we have things going on and they have no one there for them... Just me Shawn and the siblings and occasionally one of Amanda´s kids will come and support special milestones. It´s just hard!! I really miss you. We all do. I hope you are dancing and smiling up there. Please tell my mom I love her and miss her dearly. I wear her around my neck everyday. I´m glad you still have each other... I´m a little jealous. Lol!! One day we will all be together again!!
