CHRISTENSEN, LEOLA CARTER 
(December 19, 1923 - December 2, 2012)

Leola Carter Christensen, a native and resident of Morgan City for over 62 
years, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, December 2, 2012, at the 
age of 88. 

Known as, "MeMe Tot" to her family and friends, she was a dedicated wife, 
mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother, sister, aunt and 
friend. She was the rock of her family. 
She never missed an opportunity to share in her family's achievements and 
gatherings. She had a heart of gold and was willing to help anyone. Her smile 
was radiant, beautiful, heart-warming and contagious and will be dearly missed. 
She leaves many to mourn her passing.

She is survived by two daughters, Jo Ann Christensen Aucoin and her husband, 
Anthony Aucoin of Berwick, Scharlette Christensen Mayon and her husband, James 
"Joe" Mayon of Bayou Vista. Four grandchildren, Christen Aucoin Hebert and her 
husband Patrick Hebert of Berwick, Anthony "Tony" Aucoin Jr. and his wife Tracy 
Morvant Aucoin of Lafayette, James "Jimmy" Mayon Jr. and wife Paulette 
Netterville Mayon of Thibodeaux, and Joey Mayon and his fiancé Susan of 
Patterson. Twelve great-grandchildren, Patrick Hebert Jr. and his wife Jessica 
Blood Hebert of Patterson, Ashten Hebert, Ryan Hebert, Jonathan Hebert, Matthew 
Hebert, Elizabeth Hebert, Joseph Hebert, and Luke Hebert, all of Berwick, 
Anthony "Trey" Aucoin III, and Sawyer Aucoin of Lafayette, and Haley Mayon and 
Nicholas Mayon of Thibodaux. Two great-great grandchildren, Maria Hebert and 
Patrick Hebert III of Patterson. One brother, John Carter Jr. and his wife 
Sylvia Cole Carter of Morgan City. One brother-in-law, Joseph Percle of Morgan 
City. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews who were so dear to her.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, August Christensen who 
passed away in 1982; her parents, John and Elda Gaspard Carter; three sisters, 
Genevieve C. Spell, Elmira C. Percle, and Helen C. Scadlock Thornton; three 
brothers, Kennith Carter, Bert Carter, and Russel Carter; one granddaughter, 
Vickie Mayon.

"Mrs. Tot" was the owner/operator of "Tot's Magic Mirror" Beauty Salon in 
Morgan City for over twenty-five years, serving many long time patrons and 
making many lifelong friends. 
She was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church and held the position of 
Secretary/Treasurer in its early beginnings. She was a very spiritual lady 
"Thanking God" and giving praise in everything she said and did, exemplifying a 
true Christian. Her family and friends admired her dedication and faithfulness.

Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Jimmy Mayon, Joey Mayon, and Patrick Hebert; 
and her great-grandsons, Patrick Hebert Jr., Ryan Hebert, Jonathan Hebert, 
Matthew Hebert, and Nicholas Mayon.
