Millet

Maelise Elizabeth Millet, age 86, passed away on February 21st, 2025. She was born in St. Amant, LA, and was a longtime resident of Gramercy, LA.

For 36 years, Maelise worked as a dedicated bus driver for the St. James Parish School Board. She loved every child she picked up and treated them as if they were her own, always greeting them with kindness and watching over them as they grew. She had a wonderful relationship with her coworkers, building lifelong friendships along the way.

Above all, Maelise cherished her family. She found her greatest joy in spending time with them, especially during their Sunday lunches, surrounded by laughter and love.

She was the beloved wife of the late Larry P. Millet and a devoted mother to Randy Millet (Angela), Sandra Alleman (Randy), Jamie Melancon (Wyade), Debbie Faucheux (Joey), Peggy Oubre (Maurice "Boo"), and Shelly Poche (Murray). She was a proud grandmother to 13 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, all of whom she adored.
