Ellen Heathman

1943 - 2024

Ellen Malbrough Heathman, born May 3, 1943, to Jeanette Hebert Malbrough Thibodaux (d) and Druby Malbrough (d) of Bayou Dularge, LA., passed away May 17, 2024, in Covington, LA. She was married 58 years to the love of her life and best friend, Danny R. Heathman. She had two daughters, Yvette Jane (d) and Danelle Nores (Robert). She had five grandchildren, Jennifer Billeisen (Brandon), Shelby Stegelmann (Kurt), Macyn Heathman, Renee Hostetter (d), Scotty Callais (Amanda). She had three step-grandchildren, Katie White (Evan), Victoria Gosselin (Bobby) and Bobby Nores (Braelyn). She had (6) step-great grandchildren as well. Ellen dedicated her life to serving God when she was 10 years old in 1953. Even at that youthful age, she knew right from wrong. She lived her life as a Godly woman teaching countless others His Word. She shared her hope in the resurrection to a restored paradise here on earth which Jesus taught his disciples to pray for at Matthew 6:9. Ellen loved to sew, crochet, read novels, fish in Golden Meadow, cook for family and friends, and dote on her grandchildren. When it came to fishing though, she always caught the biggest or the most fish. What she didn't know was that Dan always put her and the boat in the exact spot for fishing! Before Dan married Ellen, He promised her he would always take care of her; and He did just so. All will sadly miss her because she touched so many lives. May we all strive to live by the example she set. Truly, she "loved thy neighbor." Memorial Services will be May 25, 2024, at 2:00 PM at the Abita Springs Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses 76320 LA-21, Covington, LA. 70435. A celebration of her life to follow.
