Rachael Williams Morton

Abbeville—Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville honoring the life of Rachael Williams Morton, 80, who died Sunday, June 13, 2021 at Maison duMonde Living Center.  She will be laid to rest at Graceland Cemetery with Rev. Tracy MacKenzie officiating the services.  Pallbearers will be Preston Townley, Kaleb Townley, Kasey Townley, Daylan Hebert, Bayley Broussard, Kyle Hargrave and Jordan Sudberry.

Rachael spent most of her life living and working in Abbeville.  She was a nearly 30-year Branch Office Administrator for Edward Jones.  She loved working with and helping the people of Vermilion Parish achieve their goals.  Rachael was also a lifetime and devoted member of the United Methodist Church of Abbeville.  She enjoyed attending Sunday school, participating on various committees, volunteering for Vacation Bible School and, especially, singing in church.

Rachael was an introvert at heart, but her big laugh and strong personality made everyone feel welcome.  She lovingly gained nicknames such as, Big Rach and The Pink Lady.  Everyone in her life knew when Big Rach participated in events and gatherings in the community that they would eat well due to her love of cooking for her family, friends and her children’s friends.   It was always a given that there was a meal already prepared.

Rachael will be missed by many – her family, church family and friends.

She is survived by her son, Gregory D. Townley, Jr. and his wife, Christine of Abbeville; three daughters, Robin T. Duhon of Dallas, TX, Deborah T. Rodrigue and her husband, Michael of Abbeville, and Melissa M. Williams and her husband, Wayne of Dallas, TX,  four grandchildren, Preston Townley, Andre M. Hargrave and her husband, Kyle, Bayley Broussard, and Camille D. Sudberry and her husband, Jordan; eight great grandchildren, Christian Townley, Elizabeth Townley, Kaleb Townley, Kasey Townley, Daylan Hebert, Hazel Grace Hargrave, Brycyn Broussard and Bralyn Broussard; and one sister, Rebecca W. Landry and her husband, James of Abbeville.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Preston Morgan Williams and the former Maude Elizabeth Broussard; husband, D.D. Morton; two grandchildren, Jennifer Townley and Morgan Mouton; and one great grandson, Keb Townley.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville, 209 S. St. Charles St., on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 from 9:00 AM until time of services.
