Wanita Trahan Vincent

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Wanita Trahan Vincent, who left us peacefully on April 21, 2025, at the age of 81. Born on April 4, 1944, in Delcambre, Louisiana, Wanita was a treasured homemaker and a devoted matriarch who filled our lives with love and warmth.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday April 25, 2025 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Erath. She will be laid to rest in LeBlanc Cemetery.

Friends and family are invited to gather in her honor with visitation set to take place at Vincent Funeral Home of Abbeville, 209 S. Saint Charles St., on Thursday April 24, 2025, from 4:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a rosary being prayed at 7:00 PM; Friday April 25, 2025, from 8:00 AM until 1:30 PM when the procession will depart for the church.

Wanita is survived by her loving children, Carolyn Vincent, Wendy Vincent, Joey Vincent, Eugenia "Gena" Vincent, and Mitzi Vincent. She was a proud grandmother to 16 grandchildren, a doting great-grandmother to 26 great-grandchildren, and a joyful great-great-grandmother to 6 little ones. Her family was her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Larson Vincent; and loving parents, Mayo Trahan and Eunice Morvant. Wanita also joins her brother, Nelson Trahan; sisters, Velta and Therese Trahan; son, Jimmy Vincent; and daughter, Roxane Vincent, as well as one grandchild, Christopher Trahan, in eternal rest.

Known for her exquisite sewing skills and her love of bingo, Wanita brought joy and laughter wherever she went. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

As we celebrate the beautiful life of Wanita, we hold dear the treasured memories she left us and the love that will forever surround her family.
