Maxine Mathis Mustian

Maxine Mathis Mustian, age 91, of Harahan and Metairie (born in Paris, Tennessee), Louisiana passed away on Thursday, February 2, 2023. Maxine was always helping others, whether it was family, friends, or members of Metairie Baptist Church, where she served as Secretary for 25 years until she retired at age 80. She was devoted to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all of whom were the lights of her life. She loved music and was a talented singer and pianist. As some have said, she was “one in a million.” Her last years were a real challenge yet she handled adversity with strength, grace, and perseverance.

Maxine was preceded in death by her husband of 32 years, William R. “Bill” Mustian, Jr.; parents Eddie and Lillie Mathis; and brothers T.C. Mathis and James Mathis. She is survived by children Suellen Mustian Roselle and William R. “Trey” Mustian, III (Vicki); grandchildren Larry Roselle, III (Kelly), Michael Mustian (Courtney), James Mustian, William Roselle, Elizabeth M. Fabregas (Brian), and Candace Carpenter (Jonathon); great-grandchildren Declan Mustian, Finnegan Mustian, Ellison Mustian, Brody Rodrigues, Jaxon Fabregas, Jason Carpenter, Cole Carpenter, Solomon Roselle, Adalyn Roselle, Nathan Roselle, and Benjamin Roselle; sister-in-law Ethel Mathis; nieces Sueann Mathis, Trudi Mathis Bannister, Karen Mathis, and Nancy Madden; and nephews Dwayne Mathis and Steve Mathis.

The family would like to give special thanks to Lucille McClain for her years of dedication and friendship.
