Rose M. Cancienne Estay Schaubhut went to her Heavenly rest on April 7, 2020. She was preceded in death by her parents Octave Sylvan Cancienne and Josephine Marie Thibodaux and fifteen siblings; husbands John Joseph Estay and Edward John Schaubhut; and son Roy Anthony Estay.
She is survived by her son Johnny Joseph Estay (Tina), daughter-in-law Merril Estay (Roy), grandchildren Pennie Scott (Curtis), Patty Cortez (Leonard), Rhonda Montet (Jude), Jonni Gonzales (Lee), Jessi Meadors (Kody), Mitzi Faucheaux (Tommy), and Matthew Estay (Megan). Rose is also survived by fourteen great-grandchildren and fourteen great-great-grandchildren.
Rose and her husband John (1940 – 1979) resided in Paradis, Louisiana. Rose loved gardening and the out-of-doors. She was an avid homemaker who enjoyed cooking, usually huge meals she served to her family and friends. Rose was a devoted wife and mother who loved caring for her husband and children. And later, caring for her many grandchildren. She was a faithful parishioner of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Paradis, La. where she was voted “Mother of the Year” in 1970.
Later in her life, she married her childhood sweetheart Edward Schaubhut (1982 – 2010), also widowed, and resided with him in Harvey, Louisiana. In addition to her large family in Paradis, she now lovingly embraced the children and grandchildren of her new family. In keeping with her devotion to her Christian faith, she was a parishioner of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church in Westwego, La. where her husband Edward was a deacon.
The last years of her life were spent as a resident of Luling Living Center in Luling, La.; where unsurprisingly, she endeared herself to administration, staff and other residents.
Rose would have been ninety-nine years young on May 20, 2020. She spent her years on this earth embracing any opportunity to add love to her life and to give out as much love to others as she could. As a result, her family does not wish to mourn her passing but to celebrate her life. A life devoted to her faith, church, and the love she shared with family and friends.
At this time, the family would like to thank Luling Living Center for the care and affection shown to her while a resident there. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, her family would ask that donations be made in her name to Luling Living Center, 11250 Paul Maillard Road, Luling, LA 70070 to support resident activities.
A private service will be conducted at Falgout Funeral Home in Raceland, La. by Father Joseph Duc Dzien. Interment will follow at St. Gertrude Cemetery in Des Allemands, La.
