Colette Cecilia Moreau Lottinger, 76, passed away at 5:37 a.m. Good Shepherd

after a four-year battle with cancer.

Visitation will be from 8 a.m. until funeral time today, Wednesday, April 29, 
at Holy Family Catholic Church in Luling. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 
10:45 a.m. today at the church, 

with burial in St. Francis de Sales Cemetery No. 1 in Houma Wednesday

She is survived by her husband, Allen; children, Ann Taylor, wife of Tony 
Taylor, Lilla Marie Lottinger, Lisa Cuccia, wife of Craig Cuccia, Lauren Clark, 
wife of Fred Clark, Allen Lottinger Jr., and Amy Church, wife of Dean Church 
Jr.; and 19 grandchildren.

She was the daughter of Al and Lilla May Moreau, both deceased and sister of 
Tonsie Beach, Al Moreau Jr., Doug Moreau, Becky Newsham, Margo McCarthy, Jeanne 
Caldarera, Michele Rathbone, Andre Moreau and Suzanne Moreau (deceased).

Colette grew up in the Baton Rouge area. She was a graduate of University High 
School and Louisiana State University. Upon graduation she became an assistant 
home demonstration agent in Terrebonne Parish.
Years later, "Miss Colette" as she was called by many, worked at the St. 
Charles Herald-Guide and the Louisiana Sportsman Magazine for more than 30 
years. She was co-owner of Louisiana Publishing, along with her husband, Allen.
Colette wrote a weekly cooking column and published a cook book called "How 
Sportsmen Cook," a book containing a collection of Louisiana recipes for wild 
fish and game.
During the time she worked at the paper, she also found time to serve on the 
board of numerous organizations including the Louisiana Press Association, 
Social Concerns, United Way and The Historical Society of St. Charles Parish.

The mother of six children, five girls and one boy, she never had a concern for 
herself. She had a knack for loving people. She also had a strength, no matter 
what the obstacle. She taught her family to bond together no matter what the 
high or low, no matter what the positive or negative. In her final days it 
showed because everyone was there together for her, all her children and her 
own brothers and sister as well.
Colette always wanted to help people. There were never any strangers as far as 
she was concerned, and she would do just about anything to comfort another. She 
never complained about her own ailments and even at the end, unless you knew, 
you'd never know she was ill.
A devout Catholic, Colette was a parishioner of Holy Family Catholic Church in 
Luling.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in her name may be made to: Missionary 
of Our Mother of the Eucharist, 112 Jim Bowie Rd., Houma, LA 70363.
Bagnell and Sons Funeral Home in Covington is in charge of arrangements.
