On the evening of Friday, November 10, 2023, Faye Ann Moresi Buteau passed away peacefully at her home from Parkinsonism.  Faye was surrounded by her loved ones when she went to be with the Lord.

Faye was born May 19, 1959, in New Iberia to the late George P. Moresi Sr. and Geraldine Rita Daigle.   

Faye is leaving behind a legacy that ripples through the hearts of many. Faye’s first love was her husband Rickey Buteau Sr.  The couple married on February 4, 1978 and their 45-year marriage was a testament to enduring love. Faye and Rickey raised three children and Faye was dedicated to her children in all aspects of their lives. Faye’s devotion to her family knew no bounds, which was evident in her involvement in all her children’s activities. From coaching softball in Jeanerette Little League to teaching catechism for her church, St. John the Evangelist, Faye dedicated many years of service to her community. Faye was also an active member of the Legion of Mary. Faye’s commitment to her community was recognized when she received the Outstanding Citizen of the Year award from the Jeanerette Chamber of Commerce.  

Faye was a dedicated Special Education paraprofessional. Faye loved her job and loved her students. Faye made it a point to show her students the same love she showed her own three children. She celebrated their birthdays, Christmas and showed support for them outside of school. Faye was a cheerleader to all. Her positivity and love for others was an inspiration to all who knew her. 

Faye had an infectious spirit and love for celebrating. She was truly blessed to have such a big family and a lifelong core group of friends to share life’s most precious moments with. Faye will forever be missed at Christmas. She absolutely loved the Christmas season and leaves behind the fondest memories and traditions for her children and grandchildren to carry on.

In her 64 years Faye Ann Moresi Buteau epitomized a life built on love, service and an unwavering commitment to those she held dear. Her absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of her loved ones and the community she so passionately served. Her memory will continue to be a guiding light, inspiring others to emulate her selfless dedication and boundless love.
