A resident of Coteau, Amanda Joy Derouen was born in Lafayette, Louisiana on December 28, 1991, and was a 2010 graduate of Westgate High School. She was an avid U.L. fan, and was very down to earth. She loved the outdoors, especially fishing, hunting, camping, riding 4-wheelers and swimming. Her daughter, Faithlynn was her world; she loved to watch her swim and play baseball. Despite her many health issues, Amanda had a very strong will to live. She always spoke her mind. What she cherished most was time spent with her family, especially her daughter and siblings. She will be deeply missed.

Derouen (Christi); a daughter who was her pride and joy, Faithlynn Grace Derouen; a brother, Dustin Scott Derouen; half-brother, Brennan Scott Derouen; half-sister, Braylee Renee Derouen; maternal grandmother, Sharon Derouen Nunez; paternal grandmother, Sandra Schexnayder (Delton); step-grandfather, Alvin "Brud" Huval; godmother, Sandra Tran; godfather/ uncle, Kern Nunez; aunts, Connie Castille (Randy), Tisa Maturin (Mark), Heather Louviere, and Brandie Broussard (DeJean); nephews, Colton Thomas Derouen and Jude Fisher Derouen, and numerous cousins.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Doris S. Nunez; paternal grandfather, U.L. Derouen, Jr.; and step-grandmother, Terri D. Huval.
Pallbearers will be Dustin Derouen, Brennan Derouen, Kern Nunez, Zachary Maturin, Johnathan Maturin, and Peter Derouen.
Honorary pallbearers are Faithlynn Derouen, Colton Derouen, Aubrie Delahoussaye, Sammie Jo Delahoussaye, Caty Prothro, and Lacy Dore.

My condolences to Amanda´s family at this time of loss and grief. I was one of her nurses years ago . She was special and strong as was her mother who would accompany her to the hospital and, eventually, with her baby girl. My heart goes out to all of you!
