Janet Richard Primeaux of Erath died from a long and courageous battle with COPD, on Monday, January 16, 2023 at the age of 76. She was surrounded by her loving husband and children.
Janet was a homemaker but she was so much more than that, a devoted stay at home mom for many years, she dedicated her life to her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a strong supporter of her family and all their activities. She enjoyed camping with family and friends and traveling this great country with her husband, together they trekked across America to some of their favorite places like Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and the great Smoky Mountains. She enjoyed a good outing to the bingo hall or a day trip to the casino. Her home was always open for visitors and welcomed with a hot cup of coffee. She loved cooking for her family, and was best known for her gumbo and famous chocolate bread. She was happiest when her home was filled with family.
How she lived life became a template for her children and others to follow. As the matriarch of the family, Janet had a unique knack for being the family "glue" holding many things together. Preparing Sunday meals, hosting memorable Christmas Eve get-togethers and planning family vacations were just some of the things she excelled at. She was a woman of both strength and character, a loving wife, a wonderful mother and a doting grandmother. Her family will miss her greatly.
She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Earl and their children; Angela Petry, Lance Primeaux(Jamie), Gabriel Primeaux(Holly), Alicia Gravouia(Kevin)
Grandchildren; Jacob Primeaux(Callie), Kolby Petry, Jezlin Ruiz, Isaac “Gaige” Primeaux, Tori Petry, Evelyn Primeaux, Bradley Gravouia, Ellie Primeaux, Sawyer Primeaux, Gia Gravouia, Kai Primeaux great-grandchildren; Trevor Primeaux, Violet Primeaux, Analee Guidry, River Primeaux and Jaxlin Ruiz; a sister, Vivian Richard Thibodeaux.
She is preceded in death by her parents Velton and Elvie Richard.
The family would like to express their profound thanks to the loving and nurturing staff of Hospice of Acadiana. A special thanks to Laura Thibodeaux and Whitney Credeur who provided compassionate care in her final days.
Pallbearer Lance Primeaux, Gabriel Primeaux, Jacob Primeaux, Kolby Petry, Isaac Primeaux, Bradley Gravouia
