Shirley was a kind and caring man who enjoyed the simple life of country living. He loved being outdoors tending to his vegetable garden, caring for his chickens, and fishing. He was always happiest with a line in the water waiting on that next bite. Shirley also enjoyed going to the Casino, having conversations with friends, family, and anyone who would listen, napping, and playing cards. He was a loving father and grandfather who enjoyed every moment spent with family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchild. Shirley will be truly and deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
He is survived by one daughter, Sharlane L. Hardin and husband Ron of Broussard; one son, Troy C. Louviere of Coteau; three grandchildren, Lance Barras; Blake C. Louviere and Bryson J. Louviere; two great grandchildren, Madden Louviere and Mela Louviere; one brother, Creman Touchet; and one sister, Leona Touchet Bonin and husband Roger.
He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Annie Romero Louviere; father, Charles Louviere; mother, Louisiana’ Bourque Touchet; step-father, Maurice Touchet; brother, Raymond Touchet; and sister, Mary Lou Touchet Delahoussaye.
Pallbearers will be Lance Barras, Blake C. Louviere, Bryson J. Louviere, Donald Bourque, Harvey Romero, and Ron Hardin.
