Janell Lopez Obituary

On May 4, 2022, the world lost a phenomenal woman, Janell Sceau Lopez. She was 66 years old. Through her, we saw the perfect example of resilience and perseverance. Just because she is no longer here, doesn't mean she lost the fight. Everyone knew her as a kind soul, always willing to cheer anyone up with talks or dancing. Her bright light will forever shine. Janell is survived by her husband Vincent, children: Vincent (Eyango), Tiki, and Corey; brothers: Larry and Don; and grandchildren: Vincent III, Torie, Elijah, Alaina, and Corey Jr. Also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Preceded in death by her parents Florence and Lionel Sceau and brothers: Darryl, Melvin, Verdel Sr, and Gerald Sceau. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Janell's life at her Memorial Service on Saturday, May 14, 2022, for 11:00 a.m. at Transfiguration of Our Lord Church, 5621 Elysian Fields Ave, New Orleans, LA. Visitation will begin at 10:30 a.m. Rev. Paul Desrosiers, officiating. Interment will follow at St. Louis Cemetery #2, 300 N. Claiborne Ave, New Orleans, LA.
