ABBEVILLE — A Mass of Christian Burial was held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, October 9, 2021 at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church honoring the life of Mary Magdalen Mayeux, 69, who died Monday, October 4, 2021 at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge. She was laid to rest at St. Mary Magdalen Cemetery with Reverend Louis J. Richard officiated the services.
Mary’s first job was a short order cook at Frank’s Drive-In which gave her an advantage to be the 1st employee hired when McDonald’s was built in Abbeville. Mary took great pride in telling everyone her payroll check was the very first paycheck ever written (#1). Mary ended her career at McDonald’s after 33 years of employment.
Mary had a very generous soul who loved shopping for others and helping those in need. In her spare-time she enjoyed crossword puzzles and listening to the oldies and her favorite, Prince. One of her fondest memories were vacationing at Disney World. Mary felt blessed and proud to be the Godmother to Christopher, Ellen and Artie.
She is survived by her two brothers, Jules Mayeux and his wife, Cathy, and Hugh Mayeux and his wife, Sheila; sister, Amy Mayeux Sellers and her husband, Will; nephews, Luke Mayeux, and Casey Sellers and his wife, Emily; nieces, Ellen Eldridge and her husband, Reed, Lois Boulet and her husband, Jason, and Artie Garbarino and her husband, Nicholas; and great nieces and nephews, Gracie Mayeux, Andrew Mayeux, Kate Sellers, June Sellers, Leona Eldridge, Cora Eldridge, Jack Eldridge, Max Elridge, Rhett Boulet, Julia Boulet, Malee Garbarino, John Henry Garbarino, and Lucy Garbarino.
