Peggy Deaville was born on Jan. 9, 1959, in Jennings. She was a life resident of Jennings. Peggy wanted everyone to know how much she loved Jamie Bergeron and enjoyed watching him in concert. She was a woman who found joy in the simple things that made life meaningful. She was a proud New Orleans Saints fan and especially cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren, always loving to watch them participate in their extracurricular activities and cheering them on every step of the way. She treasured visiting her newfound friends at the Westminster Apartments and enjoyed being surrounded by her family and friends. Peggy was also the keeper of community stories, the one who remembered the people and the moments. Her warmth, laughter and stories will be deeply missed.
Peggy is survived by her daughters, Shawntel Duhon (Byron) of Roanoke, Courtney Barbier (Jean-Paul) of Mermentau and Jayme LeJeune (Larry) of Roanoke; her eight grandchildren, Katelyn Duhon, Christian Barbier (Miranda), Ashlyn Duhon, Bayleigh LeJeune Carranza (Juan), Trinity Barbier, Alex Barbier, Collin LeJeune and Tanner LeJeune; her brothers, Edward Morvant (Marie), Elton Morvant, Jr. (Audrey); as well as the sister-of-herheart, Ann Pierce.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Elton Joseph Morvant, Sr. and Geraldine Sittig Morvant; and her husband, Edward Deaville.
Pallbearers chosen to carry Peggy to her final resting place will be Christian Barbier, Alex Barbier, Tanner LeJeune, Collin LeJeune, Juan Carranza and Brandon Morvant.
The family wishes to offer a special thanks to her bonusdaughter Jackie Nierman for the care and compassion she gave to Peggy and her family at their time of need.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Matthews Funeral Home Jennings, 511 North Cutting Ave., Jennings, LA 70546.
