Jane Rita Aucoin (née Clement), age 88, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2025, in Morgan City, Louisiana. Born on September 30, 1937, in Louisiana, she lived a full and joyful life marked by devotion to family, community involvement, and a vibrant spirit that touched all who knew her.

Jane dedicated over three decades of service to Bellsouth Telecommunications before retiring. Her long career reflected her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence. Beyond her professional life, Jane was deeply involved in her community and found joy in creative expression and celebration.

A dedicated member of her community, Jane was a lifetime member of the Teche Regional Medical Center Ladies Auxiliary, affectionately known as the Pink Ladies. Through this role, she gave countless hours of service with compassion and grace, offering comfort to patients and support to hospital staff. Her commitment to helping others reflected the deep generosity that defined her character.

She was a proud member of the Krewe of Galatea, where she embraced the festive spirit of Mardi Gras and contributed to the cultural fabric of her hometown. Jane also shared her love for music as a member of The Tune Weavers, bringing harmony and joy through song.

She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 70 years, Lloyd J. Aucoin. Together they built a legacy of love and family. Jane is also survived by her daughter Gwen Burgess and son-in-law Gary Burgess; grandchildren Monique Ratcliff (Ronald Ratcliff Jr.), Travis Burgess, Cory Burgess (Shelley), and Megan Burgess; and great-grandchildren Rustin Ratcliff, Reise Ratcliff, Rhett Ratcliff, Reagan Burgess, Aubree Burgess, Thea Burgess and Brant Brown. She will also be missed by her sisters, Geraldine (Cherry) Settoon and Anna Mae (Toonie) Cedotal; and her brother, Allen Gaudet (Janet).

Jane was preceded in death by her father, Edward Pierre Clement; her mother, Earline Breaux Clement Gaudet; her stepfather, Medric Gaudet; her sister, Annie Louise Leonard; and her brothers Edward Clement, Alcide Clement, and Charles Iris Clement, Sr.
