Jorynn Ann Latula

Jorynn Ann Latula was born August 17, 2017, to Jorick J. Latula and Santana M. Decuir. She departed this life in the embrace of her family on October 8, 2022, and became their angel.

“BaBe” and “Pebbles,” as she was affectionately known, was a very shy toddler that wasn’t too talkative and would just smile all the time. Jorynn started school as a Pre-K student at Park Elementary. She was currently in kindergarten and had blossomed into a social butterfly. Still smiling all the time, she grew out of her shyness and made new friends. She was such a joy to be around. There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. This was the case with Jorynn. Her beautiful soul was a blessing to everyone that was around her. Many of her dad’s and uncle’s friends would ask her about her homework. Her response was “Me don’t have no homework?” Only to find out, she had hidden it from her uncle.

Jorynn loved music and dancing. She loved music so much that she figured out how to install TicToc on her phone and began using it. One of favorite songs was “Boomerang” by Jojo Swiva. She loved wearing boots even when it was 100 degrees outside. And if her mother made her take them off, “You’re aggravating,” was her frustrated response. Now what 5-year-old do you know would have done this? She was before her time and adapted very quickly. She was a “girly” girl. She always had her nails painted and needless to say the color was rainbow. She recently changed her favorite color to gold. When asked why she changed her color, she responded, “because gold means rich!” She never met a stranger because when asked “What’s your name?” she responded “I am Jorynn Ann Latula Boo. Period!” Needless to say, she was loved and cherished by many. She will be sadly missed. A life well lived and gone far too soon. As her father said, “I’m missing you so much baby girl, you will always be my ribbon in the sky!”

In addition to her parents, she leaves to mourn her brothers Javorick Latula, Jaquan Latula, Jorick “Fatboy” Latula Jr., and Kash Decuir; her sisters Alaisha Latula, Madyijah Decuir and Briyanna Decuir; maternal grandparents Windy Henry and Russel Lee; her godfather Jared Butler; a bonus caregiver Alice Latula all of New Iberia; and host of aunts, uncles, family and friends.}

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Larry Latula and Carolyn Ann Latula.
