Margaret Evelyn Tullier Berthelot

Margaret Evelyn Tullier Berthelot lived and loved abundantly. She passed away peacefully at her home on her beloved husband's birthday, Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the age of 96. Margaret was a native of Plaquemine and lived in Addis, Louisiana for over 50 years. She was a founding member of the Ladies Auxiliary for the VFW and a member of the Homemaking Society with some of her best friends. Margaret was the middle child of 15 children and the Matriarch of our large family. She enjoyed working the polls for the elections and encouraged her family members to do the same. Margaret modeled what it is to serve family, community, church, and Jesus. This devotion to others was a thread that ran through her life; she always gave of her time, talent, and money to whatever and whomever needed it most. Margaret had an incredible memory of people, their birthdays, their anniversaries, and their stories, which undoubtedly led to her obsession with ensuring everyone correctly wore their name tags at Diocesan Youth Conferences. Her legacy will live on through her children, Riley "Peewee" Berthelot Jr. (Susie), Ted Berthelot (Karen), Terry Jarreau (Brett) and Jeffery Berthelot, Sr.; her grandchildren, Missy DeVillier (Bill), Jay LeBlanc (Stacy), Ralph LeBlanc (Leigh), Toby Berthelot (Alexis), Todd Berthelot (Heidi), Rachel Felder (Bradley), Reagan Berthelot, Rebecca LeBlanc (Jeffery), Shanay Landry (Sawyer), Beth Kirby (Blake), Jeremy Vaughn (Jordan), Jeffery Berthelot, Jr. (Anna), Joshua Berthelot (Peggy) and Kristine Berthelot; and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
