JEANERETTE — Inurnment will be held at a later date for Mr. Nolton Charles “N.C.” Derise Jr., 74.

A native and lifelong resident of Jeanerette, “N.C.” passed away on Monday, May 17, 2021 at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center. “N.C.” was a fighter and a strong man who overcame many obstacles in his life. He loved going to the casino, enjoying a good meal, watching television and spending all of his time with his daughters and grandchildren. He taught his family what it means to be a strong person and even though he didn’t wear a cape, he was their Superman.

He is survived by his two daughters, Penny Derise of Jeanerette and Mindy Jumonville and husband Eddie of Jeanerette; grandchildren Pherra Stages and Elyn Jumonville, both of Jeanerette; and his two grand-pups, Barkley and Bella Rose.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Ellen Hebert Derise; parents, Nolton Charles Derise Sr. and Mary Stroud Derise; and one brother, William Derise.

The family would like to thank Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center for all of their care and compassion given to “N.C.”
