Yvonne Latiolais, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend, who departed this life on June 3, 2026. Born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, on October 30, 1957, Yvonne's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, kindness, and a deep commitment to her family and community.

Yvonne dedicated her professional life to serving others as a help desk manager with the state government, where she was respected and valued by her colleagues for her unwavering support and willingness to help anyone in need. Her legacy of compassion extended far beyond her workplace, as she consistently prioritized her family above all else. With her husband Wayne by her side for 49 remarkable years, Yvonne enjoyed creating cherished memories with their three children-Seth, Danielle (Corey) Trahan, and Bryan (Emilly) Latiolais. Her love continued through her seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, who will always remember her warmth and the beautiful crochet blankets she lovingly crafted for each of them.

Yvonne had a vibrant spirit, finding joy in life's simple pleasures-whether it was camping, fishing, going to the beach, or cheering on the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints. Her adventurous heart was matched only by her nurturing nature, as she took pride in bringing comfort to others through her crocheting skills.

She will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Yvonne is now reunited with her twin sister, Yvette, who preceded her in death six years ago.

Yvonne Latiolais leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and a boundless commitment to family that will not be forgotten. We invite all who knew her to join us in celebrating her remarkable life and to cherish the memories that we hold in our hearts.

She is survived by her husband, Wayne Latiolais; daughter, Danielle (Corey) Trahan; sons, Seth Latiolais and Bryan (Emilly) Latiolais; grandchildren, Spenser Trahan, Ashton Trahan, Shelby Trahan, McKennon Trahan, Bryce Latiolais, Jennah Dow, Dylan Latiolais; and her great grandchildren, Kinley, Kodyn, Kylon,Karsen, Charlotte, Elliot, Miles and Colsen.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Wilton and Inez Boudreaux Menard; her twin sister, Yvette Cormier; and her brother, Alan Menard.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Kinley Trahan and Carsen Dow.
