MARY SHANNON EUES

Mary Shannon Eues, 70, a proud native and longtime resident of Morgan City, was called to her Heavenly home on Sunday, March 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.
Mary will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, and proud Nana, whose world revolved around her family and friends. She gave her heart fully to those she loved, never missing a chance to cheer on her grandchildren at their many sporting events and activities, speaking on the phone with her daughters nearly every day, and celebrating every moment with joy and pride. A dedicated employee of MC Bank for over 40 years, Mary treated her customers like family. As a devoted member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Mary was a Sacristan, Eucharistic Minister, and member of the Ladies Altar Society and Good Samaritan Ministry. When she wasn’t spending treasured time with her loved ones, Mary delighted in sharing laughter and friendship with her beloved “Ya-Ya” group. Together, they created countless cherished memories, often teasing their husbands — affectionately known as the “Yo-Yos.”
Those left to cherish Mary’s beautiful memory are her husband of 51 amazing years, Kirk J. Eues; two daughters, Jessi James and her husband, Sam; Jenny Smith and her husband, Mike; four grandchildren, Cooper James, Juliette James, Sienna Smith, and Ford Smith; and her sisters, Elizabeth Shannon; Ruthie Madere and her husband, Ronald; and sister-in-law Janet Smith and her husband Mike. She is also survived by countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends who were like family, especially Sheryl and James Cline, and Marcia and Craig Bergeron.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Alice Shannon; sister, Alice Guzzetta; in-laws, Ervin and Eunice Eues; and dear friend, David Blanco.
Visitation for Mary will be observed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 9:30 A.M. until 12 noon, at which time a Mass of Christian Burial will be held. Graveside services will follow at the Morgan City Cemetery. Rev. Brett Lapeyrouse will preside over the services.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary’s memory to Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
The family would like to express their deep and heartfelt gratitude to Terrebonne General Medical Center and the wonderful nurses, Harold & Aimee for their loving care and support.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Hargrave Funeral Home of Morgan City, Louisiana.
