Mrs. Lois was a 1961 graduate of New Iberia High School and remained close to her classmates throughout the years. She has worked with State National Bank and Peoples National Bank, but has worked many years with her daughter and son-in-law at Mark’s Tire and Wrecker Service. She was also a member of the Sugar and Spice Camping Club. But her greatest role in life was that of being a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend to many. She simply adored being with her family and cherished that time spent with them. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Survivors include her children Gerald “Jerry” Chastant Jr. and wife, Angela, Terrie Chastant Hebert and husband, Mark, and Melissa Chastant Huval and husband, Gerald; her grandchildren Seth Phillip Chastant and wife, Lauren, Mark Anthony Hebert II and wife, Michele, Trevis Michael Hebert, Gerald Pierre Chastant III, Braison Evan Hebert and Noah Christopher Chastant; three great-grandchildren Mark “Peanut” Hebert III, Rowan Chastant and Madicyn Hebert; her niece Norma Waguespack Landry and husband, Connie; her nephew and neighbor Quinn Delcambre and wife, Amy; and her faithful dog Ratchet.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Pierre Chastant Sr.; her in-laws Pierre and Ada Landry Chastant; a brother Clince Waguespack Jr.; sisters-in-law Ruby Chastant Cashen and Bernice Chastant Segura; and her godchild Sherry Waguespack.
