Lillian Jean Richard, 87, of Carlyss was called home by The Lord on Monday, November 19, 2018 with her family by her side. Jean was born in Johnson Bayou, and resided in Sulphur before moving to Carlyss. She attended St. Theresa Catholic Church where she was a member of The Legion of Mary. Jean enjoyed cooking and spending time with family and friends, especially gatherings at Jada, Scott and Courtney's for crawfish and French music. Christmas week spent at Chere' and Brett's home was one of her favorite times. She cherished Christmas Eves at Anthony and Kaci's and looked forward to this annual family event. She also greatly appreciated Aaron's time he so generously gave to her, cooking, doing chores, and taking care of things around the house and yard. Jean was warm, compassionate and so generous; always helping others. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She could do anything she set her mind to and was known as an expert seamstress and excellent cook. Her laughter and infectious smile will be remembered by all. Just a beautiful soul.
