"Hey ho, This is Ervin Joe"

A Mass of Christian burial will be held Monday, January 28, 2013, at 2:00 PM at 
St. Joseph Catholic Church in Centerville for Ervin Joseph "Joe" Vaughn, 78, a 
native and lifelong resident of Verdunville, who passed away Wednesday, January 
23, 2013, at Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma. 

Burial will follow in the St. Joseph Cemetery in Centerville. 
Fr. Ruben Primor will officiate the services.

Joe was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church and was a Fourth Degree Knight 
of the Knights of Columbus, Centerville Council #4309. His passion was to make 
people laugh and talk to everyone he passed. He was a generous person with a 
heart of gold. He enjoyed working in his garden, socializing at the casino, and 
playing with his grand-dogs. To quote a complete stranger from one of his many 
travels, "Sometimes you say funny things, sometimes you say things funny, but 
sometimes you just say things."

Survivors include three children, Laurie Ann Doucet of Branson, MO, Kellie 
Marie Rector and her husband Dale of Verdunville, and Kevin Michael Vaughn of 
New York City, NY; six grandchildren, Jamie Bridges, Brent Bridges and his wife 
Rachel, Eric Bridges and his wife Ashley, Bailey Clements, and Kimberly and 
Samuel Doucet; four great grandchildren, Emma Reed, Blaize Bridges, MacKenzie 
Bridges, and Reece Kechkaylo; and his long-longtime friends, Joe and Doris 
Robicheaux and family.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Beatrice Ann Palmer Vaughn; his parents, 
Joseph and Elda Michel Vaughn; one brother, Leland Vaughn; and one sister, Mary 
Ellen "Sis" David.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Monday at St. Joseph Catholic 
Church from 11:00 AM until time of Mass at 2:00 PM, with the rosary being 
prayed at 1:30 PM.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1007 Main Street, 
Franklin, LA
