Johnny Schouest, 86, passed away peacefully in Covington on Saturday, June 11, 
2011, just six days after the passing of his wife, Luz.

Relatives and friends are invited to gather and celebrate the lives of Johnny 
and Lulu from 11 a.m. to service time today at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in 
Cut Off. A memorial service will be held at noon today at the church.

He is survived by two sons, Dr. Frederick Jesus Schouest and wife, Dorothy, of 
Mandeville and John Lawrence Schouest and wife, Susan, of Houston; one brother, 
Wesley Joseph Schouest of New Orleans; and his grandchildren, Michael Frederick, 
Matthew Louis, Loren Dorothy and Sara Elizabeth.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Luz "Lulu" Schouest; and his 
mother and father, Violet Duet Schouest and Abel Schouest, both of Cut Off.

Johnny was born on Feb. 1, 1925, in Cut Off. He was raised and educated in 
Lafourche Parish, where he owned and operated several business enterprises and 
ventures, including Aquarius Marine Incorporated and Bon Enfant Incorporated. He 
is likely best remembered in the South Lafourche community as the owner of the 
Rex Drive Inn, which Johnny operated with his wife, Luz for nearly 50 years. In 
2004, Johnny and Luz retired and moved to Covington.

Johnny had a passion for life. He never met a stranger he didn't like, and could 
talk for hours and hours if given the opportunity. He was generous with his time 
and resources, never turning a blind eye to anyone in need. He loved the steady 
presence of the Mississippi River and was enamored by his push boat business. 
His faith in God was impenetrable, as was his love for good food and family.

Among other organizations, Johnny was a member of the American Waterways 
Operators AWO , the Louisiana Restaurant Association, and the Masonic Order, in 
which he presided as Worshipful Master of the Etiole Polaire Lodge 1 in New 
Orleans.

Johnny was an avid supporter of youth organizations, none greater than the 
Future Farmers of America, where he received the distinguished awards of 
Honorary State Farmer and Honorary American Farmer.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Leukemia and 
Lymphoma Society, 3636 South I-10 Service Rd., Ste. 304, Metairie, LA 70001.

BOWERS, SHARON 

Our loved one sleeps in death, awaiting a resurrection on a cleansed earth under 
God's Kingdom by his Son, Christ Jesus. (Acts 24:15, Matt. 6:10)

Sharon Dianne Hackworth Welch Bowers, 63, a resident of Geismar, passed away 
Wednesday, June 29, 2011, from ovarian/peritoneal cancer, a "silent killer."

A funeral service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 16 at the Kingdom Hall 
of Jehovah's Witnesses located at 38473 La. 30 in Gonzales. The discourse will 
be given by Curtis Bueche.

Sharon is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Danny Bowers of Geismar, 
originally from Houma; her parents, Winfred H. and Ina R. Hackworth of West 
Monroe; her sons, Philip G. Welch, wife, Kim and their precious children Katie 
and Colton of Geismar; Jason E. Welch of Prairieville and friend Melissa 
Baughman; Timothy J. Bowers, wife, Betsy and precious baby daughter, Jade and

mother-in-law, Jasper Carl and Gladys Hebert Bowers.

Sharon was born on Aug. 18, 1947, in Monroe and graduated from West Monroe High 
School in 1965. She encourages many as possible not to dismiss any seemingly 
slight gastrointestinal symptoms or pass them off as just "stress." She has been 
faithfully serving as one of Jehovah's Witnesses for more than 50 years and is 
survived by many friends, brothers and sisters in congregations all over 
Gonzales, Baton Rouge, the state of Louisiana and the U.S.

Anatomical donations to Tulane Medical School and Southern Eye Bank in Metairie 
are preferred.

Our overwhelming gratitude goes out to Dr. M. Giles Fort, his office staff and 
the 6th floor oncology unit of Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge.

Terrel John Eschete, 62, has left his place here on earth to join the angels in 
heaven, arriving at the pearly gates at 3:51 p.m. Thursday, July 21, 2011, to 
join the Lord with his family of past there to greet him.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to funeral time Saturday at Holy Savior Catholic 
Church. Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the church.

Terrel is survived by his loving wife of 44 years and caregiver, Barbara 
Gautreaux Eschete; one son, Terrel "JJ" Eschete Jr. and wife, Laura; two 
daughters, Tina Eschete Barrios and husband, Lonnie, and Gina Eschete and

After being diagnosed with cancer in September 2010 Terrel suffered a heart 
attack and seizures while on vacation in Florida with his family. Little did he 
know his next vacation would be in heaven with the angels.

Terrel had a great love for his family and friends and certainly for cooking. He 
never met a stranger and made many friends every place that he went. On the way 
he always had a joke to tell, of course in his own special way that would make 
everyone laugh.

Even in death he continues to fight the fight by donating his body to science in 
hopes that they will find a cure to stop the pain and suffering of cancer 
patients everywhere.

You will be sadly missed but we are grateful to have a special angel like you in 
heaven watching over us here on earth.

The family would like to thank the Chemo staff at Chabert Medical Center, the 
staff of Gulf Coast Medical Center in Panama City, Fla. the staff of the 
Oncology Department in Morgan City, Metro Preferred/Amedisys Home Health Care 
and a very special thank you to Ginger Plaisance of Chabert Medical Center of 
the wonderful and kind treatment that Terrel received while a patient in their 
facilities.

In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations to help defer medical 
expenses incurred in Florida.
