Vivian Rose Fitch, 86, departed her earthly life surrounded by her children, 
grandchildren and family members in her home, at 9:50 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, 
2013. 
She was a native of Dulac and a resident of Houma.

Visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. today at Chauvin Funeral Home. Visitation 
will also be from 9 a.m. until funeral time Friday at St. Eloi Catholic Church. 
A Mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Friday at the church, 

with burial in St. Eloi Catholic Church cemetery.

She is survived by her sons, William Fitch Sr. and wife, Mable, of Houma, and 
Herbert Fitch Jr. and companion, Mia Martinez of Houma; daughters, Lena F. Dion 
and husband, Paul, of Houma, Movelia F. Brown and husband, Alonzo Jr., of 
Houma, Ida Fitch and companion, Basil Verdin, of Houma, and Melvina F. Calloway 
and husband, Percy, of Raceland; 21 grandchildren; 43 great-grandchildren; two 
great-great-grandchildren; and sisters, Liz Mae Billiot and Cecile Gregoire.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Herbert Sidney Fitch; son, John 
Fitch; daughters, Antoinette Fitch and Eva Mae Fitch; parents, Adrian Gregoire 
and Marie Defelice Gregoire; grandson, Herbert Johnston; brothers, Lindsey, 
Pierre, John, Ellis, Alex and Albert Gregoire; and sisters, Ida Solet, Eva 
Courteaux, Marie Antoinette Defelice, Florestine Lodrigue, Stella Billiot and 
Genevieve Gregoire.

She was a parishioner of Holy Family Catholic Church and was loved by everyone 
who met her. She was outspoken and strong-willed as she raised her children as 
a single parent after the loss of her husband. 
She was a very good cook, and anyone who ever crossed her door never went 
hungry. Although she did not drive, she always found a way to get to a sick 
relative or friend to take care of them. She loved to fish. She was a loving, 
caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend. 

The family would like to thank Mrs. Gwen Robinson, her caretaker, Robert 
Bement, Mrs. Debra Gorr, her hospice nurses, and Dr. Dickie Haydel and his 
staff.

Chauvin Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
