LORETTA D. POWELL

October 12, 1937 — November 2, 2020
Loretta D. Powell, a resident of Morgan City, was called to her heavenly home on Monday, November 2, 2020, at the age of 83.
Loretta was a devoted Christian and proud member of the Bethel Pentecostal Church in Patterson. A true Cajun cook, she had an “open door” policy that anyone and everyone who wanted a good meal could come to her house to eat. When not cooking, Loretta enjoyed traveling and fishing and hunting. She loved her family, her friends, and any stranger that came her way. Loretta was known for treating every person like family. Once accepted as a loved one, that was it, you were in the circle. She was a dedicated and independent woman who loved to take care of things herself, when she was unable to tend to something, she would only entrust the love of her life, Doug. She will be deeply missed.
Loretta leaves to cherish her memory her wonderful husband of 31 years, Douglas “Doug” Powell; two daughters, Tina Broussard and her husband, Terry, and Paula Rader and her husband, Randy; her stepchildren, Dale Powell and Langley Jones; seven grandchildren, Jamie Broussard, Terri Sons, Eros Broussard, Dustin Bergeron, Brad Landry, Doug Gaudet and Loran Gaudet; 14 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by her sister, Doris Chaisson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Hiram and Josephine Voisin; and three children, Gina Landry, Danny Powell and Mike Jones.
The family requests that a time of visitation be observed on November 5, 2020, from 10 a.m. until time of services at 1 p.m. at Bethel Pentecostal Church in Patterson. Following services, Loretta will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery.
Acting as pallbearers will be Randy Rader, Terry Broussard, Dustin Bergeron, Brad Landry, Benji Sons and Dale Powell with Joseph Daigle as an honorary pallbearer.
