Rita Pertuit Obituary
Visitation will be from 9:00 am until 11:00 am on Thursday, November 3, 2022 at St. Hilary Catholic Church, Raceland, LA. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 am with burial to follow in St. Mary Cemetery, Raceland, LA.
She is survived by her sons, Dean Pertuit (Karen) and James Pertuit (Faye); daughters, Tina Armstrong (Thomas "Tom") and Rachael Pertuit; sister, Clarabelle Zeringue Matherne; one special friend, Pearl; grandchildren, Conrad, Mitchel, Denise, Jeremy, Jenna, Ross, Lance and Paige and 22 great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard J. Pertuit; parents, Raoul and Lucia Zeringue and 12 siblings.
Granny came from a large family of 7 brothers and 7 sisters. That was nothing short of her life when her husband, Howard (Paw), had many grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. She greeted you with either dancing, humming a tune, a warm plate of food, but always a smile. Granny captivated the hearts of everyone who met her, and left them inspired. The amount of love she carried for life and God carried into other people's lives. Our lives will never be the same without her here, but our lives will forever be changed with her in our hearts.
She is clothed in strength and dignity, and laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives faithful instructions with kindness. –Proverbs 31:25-26
