Ethel Mae Vice

September 11, 1943 - March 3, 2023

Ethel Mae Vice, born on September 11, 1943, passed away on March 3, 2023 at the age of 79. She was a lifelong resident of Erath, LA.
In her free time Ethel enjoyed reading, gardening, and crossword puzzles, but most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends whenever she could. She was employed at Woodcraft for 11 years; then went on to become a cook at Kimberly’s Cajun Kitchen for 3 years until they closed; moving on as a cook with Morris Lashaky Nursing Home in Erath for 11 years; finally settling down at Weiser as a Security Guard with Shaw Global out of Delcambre, LA for 6 years, where she retired in 2010. It is clear that Ethel was a dedicated hard worker in all that she set out to do, but she took the most pride in the ones she considered family. Ethel was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother, always going over and above for everyone, playing a huge role in raising multiple children, even those other than her own. If you needed her, she was there with love.
Ethel is survived by her children, Purvis J. Meaux of Erath, LA, Wilbert Dale Meaux (Wife, Tonya), of Church Point, LA, Sheila Frederick ( Husband, Paul Sr.), of Erath, LA, and Ethelyn Babin (late,  husband Scotty), of Erath, LA; her son- in- law, Sterling Callahan Jr. (husband of the late, Christina); her 16 grandchildren, Purvis, Joey, Destini, Bralie, Josh, Kevin, Elizabeth, Glenn, Leah, Sasha, T-Paul, Tiffany, Katelyn, Megan, and Mandy; her 30 great-grandchildren, Mikayla, Arianna, Gracie, Timberlyn, Daxton, Brooklyn, Emma, Kynleigh, Avrie, Bray, Blaine, Zaine, Lennox, Silas, Elijah, Layla, Thea, Josh, Josie, Braxton, Levi, Thomas, Stormie, Courtney, Landyn, Gabriel, Alaina, Brantley, Gabriella, and Gracelynn; her sister, Mary V. Evans of Abbeville, LA; her niece, Dabne` Dover (husband, Stewart), of Lafayette, LA; her nephew, Damon Evans (Wife, Bridget), of Abbeville, LA; and her 3 great nieces and nephews, Ashton, Drew and Sammi. Such a wonderful legacy she has left behind, all of which had the chance to feel her love in their lifetimes.
Ethel has now been reunited with those who have preceded in death before her; her mother and father, Purvis and Gladys Broussard Vice; her 2 brothers, Russell and Wilbert Vice; her 2 sons, Russell Earl Cluckey and Mitchel Meaux; her daughter, Christina Callahan; her son-in-law, Scotty Babin; her 2 grandsons, Claude Babin and Caleb Duplantis; her great-granddaughter, Amber Meaux, and her nephew and godchild, Darvin Duhon.
