Amelia “Mia” Plaisance Cheramie passed away on Thursday, February 2, 2017 
surrounded by her loving family. 

She was welcomed to her Heavenly home and is now reunited with her Lord and 
Savior and her husband Clayo Cheramie.

Francis De Sales Catholic Church on Monday, February 6, 2017 beginning at 9:00 
a.m. until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. 

Burial will follow in St. Francis Cemetery No. 2

Amelia was blessed with a beautiful family, she is survived by her loving and 
caring daughter, Arlene Cheramie DeHart and husband Clinton; son, Wilson 
“Junior” and wife Sharon Lirette Cheramie. Amelia was a proud maw-maw, she 
loved and adored her only grandson, Antonio “Tony” Paul DeHart. They had a very 
special bond and Tony holds his maw-maw dear to his heart. She will be missed 
by her adoring cat, Mia.

Amelia was married to the love of her life for fifty years and now reunites 
with him, Clayo Cheramie; son, Sydney Cheramie; parents, Cleophas and Helena 
Matherne Plaisance; brothers, Gustave, Volture, Mansey, Anthony, Leonce, 
Oville, and Hubert Plaisance; sisters, Cecile Dubois Toups, Leonise Gautreaux, 
Jeanne Lee, and Ena Rodriguez.

Amelia was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and aunt. She 
often wondered about her purpose on earth since she was bedridden. Her purpose 
was to pray for each of her loved ones- which extended far beyond her 
biological family. Before she and her husband, Clayo, had children of their 
own, they would take nieces and nephews on yearly trips to the beach or the 
mountains. She loved having a house full of people and was always cooking a 
large meal. Until the very end, Amelia enjoyed the company of numerous nieces, 
nephews, and friends and would listen to and participate in their 
conversations.

The family would like to thank Dr. Brian Matherne and Family Doctor Clinic; 
Cardiovascular Institute of the South, Dr. Richard Abben, and the nurses of 
their Coumadin Clinic, Tina and Lainie; the Medical Team and Amelia’s special 
caregiver, Grace Nells; Houma Urgent Care; Terez Oubre, Saint Francis De Sales 
Meals for the Elderly committee; the Council on Aging, Amelia’s godchild, 
Gloria Martin Hooper for her help and phone calls; Leslie and Sheila Fleming 
Boudreaux for their support and pies; Amelia’s niece, Linda Toups Acosta and 
her husband Ronald who always made her laugh, fixed her hair, and brought her 
donuts. 

Amelia was also a member of the American Legion Auxillary unit 31; past member 
of Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxillary, Knights of Columbus Auxillary, Krewe of 
Flames Carnival Club, and United Veterans League

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the Cheramie Family.
