My beloved Mother, Lucille L. Fontenot McManus, 96, of Porter, TX, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at Earthly Angels Care Home in Porter Texas. Lucille was born on January 1, 1926 in Merryville LA, to the late Floyd Livingston and Maudie Mysell. She was retired as Supervisor of House Keeping at Moosa Memorial Hospital in Eunice, LA.

Lucille is preceded in death by her parents; her husbands Bruce Fontenot and Reverend CJ McManus; son, Allen Fontenot; and sisters, Faye Hickman and Evelyn Stark.

Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Melyne Weddle and husband Tom of Porter, TX; brother, Willis "Bill" Livingston of Sour Lake, TX; sister, Mary Jordan and husband Reverend Lonnie Jordan of Liberty, TX; grandchildren, Corey, Quentin, Bethany, Christine, and Michael; great- grandchildren, Slade, Olivia, Everly, Adelie, Quinn, Andrew, Felicity, Dominic, Brighton, Chloe, Lexington, Dylan, Justin, Austin, Rebecca, Hunter, and McKinley; and great-great grandchildren, Natalie and Lauren.

Lucille was an active and devoted member of Porter Apostolic Church. She loved God and God loved her. She helped by donating her magical baking skills for cakes and pies to raise donations for supporting the local ministry and foreign missionaries. Everyone that was invited to Sister Lucille's Sunday lunches looked forward to her feast. She was very talented with creating flower and table arrangements, decoupage and ceramics. One of mom's passions was to work in her yard and plant different types of greenery. She will be truly missed by her loving daughter and family.

A home going service will be held on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at The Apostolic Church of Beaumont, TX at 10:00 A.M. with Reverend Lonnie Jordan officiating. Interment will follow at 3:00 P.M. at Mount Calvary Cemetery 1400 East Laurel Avenue Highway 190 in Eunice, LA, 70535.

I remember when the first time we visited after you moved to Eunice. Uncle Bruce had had a heart attack and you had just moved. We arrived way after dark on a Saturday night. Supper was waiting on us. The adults sat up and visited and Sandra and I went to bed on pallets on the floor. Mom and Dad had a bed. About 2 am, a big light was flashing on the wall and a train laid down on its horn. Daddy jumped up and took off running and smacked into the wall. We thought it was so funny. Latter on I thought it was every man for their self. Now I realize it was PTSD. I remember the best thing that Aunt Celle cooked for me was Crawfish Etouffee. As a grown up, Aunt Celle would always call to see how you were. Clayton

Sweet Sister Mac. When you were unable to attend church service, every two-four weeks, you would call and check up on the new Pastor and Pastor’s wife, always explaining that you would be there if you could! Your Pastor and church family are going to miss you greatly. ❤️

Love, Bill, Susan And Jeff November 8, 2022

Reminding those whom you support that your thoughts are with them.

Our family has many fond memories of growing up next door to Granny Lucille, Bro Bruce, and Melyne. Our Mom, Bonnie Aucoin, was best friends with Granny Lucille and every afternoon Mom traveled the dirt worn out path between the houses next door to visit. A cold glass of tea was always waiting for her. They baked pies together for many youth events at our church, held banquets with formal meals at her dining table for our church youth group and Granny Lucille taught our Sunday School class. She loved serving the Lord and working in His kingdom. She will be missed but never forgotten. She had lots of saints of God waiting for her on the heavenly shores of heaven and I hope the Lord let her make everyone a cold glass of her special sweet tea. This was a picture of their last earthly visit before Mom passed away, but their earthly bodies now rest next to one another in Mt Calvary until the great resurrection day. Love you Granny Lucille. Love Banessa, Pam, and Randy Aucoin
