GRACE FANGUY

May 7, 1939 — September 26, 2021
Grace Fanguy, a longtime resident of Patterson, was called to her heavenly home on Sunday, September 26, 2021 at the age of 82. A lady with a bit of spice, Grace was one of ten children who was always kind, loving, and openly honest. Hence, her sayings of “the truth will stand when the world is on fire” and “kill them with kindness”. She had true southern grit and a determination to leave her mark on this world, which she did by just being herself. It is not an exaggeration to say that Grace loved just about everyone. She was known far and wide as Aunt Grace, Meme, Maw-Maw Grace, and Mama Grace. Her open heart had room for everyone and no one could escape loving Grace. She was that special and she shared her love whole heartedly. She even fostered numerous children, many who she remained in contact with. Grace was also a proud Charter Life member of Patterson Memorial Auxiliary 12182 and was the best cook. A fact that friends and family alike can attest to. In her spare time, she greatly enjoyed playing Bingo and traveling around the United States. She made it to 48 of our beautiful states in her travels. Grace’s presence will forever be missed but her memory and example of how to live will remain in many hearts for years to come.
Those left to cherish Grace’s beautiful memory are her daughter, Kattie “Chris” Aucoin; her step children, Debora Fay Fanguy-Pollock, Brenda Fanguy Guidry, and Drouis Fanguy Jr.; seven grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren and; four great-great-grandchildren.
She was reunited in heaven with her father, Dudley Humphries Lewis; her mother, Katie Lorene Ward Lewis; her husbands, Thomas Mooney and Drouis Fanguy Sr.; and an infant son, Thomas Henry Mooney.
