Stella Rita

Miller Folse

It is with broken hearts that we announce that on March 3rd, 2019 Stella Rita Miller Folse left suddenly to be with our Lord. She was 77 at her passing and had a full and wonderful life. She was born to Carroll Augustus & Mary Loudie Noel Miller in Arnaudville, Louisiana on November 22nd 1941. She was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother but mostly a loving wife to a man who adored her for over 63 years. They would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this upcoming June. Her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were everything to her. All who knew her will sorely miss her loving and nurturing ways.

She attended and graduated in June 1959 from Martin Behrman High School in New Orleans. While there, she went on a date to a drive-in movie with her older brothers' friend and 3 years later married him. When he was away (in Korea and Vietnam) she raised 4 kids. When they were all in school, she began working for Federal Civil Service; first as a testing specialist, then a retirements and separations supervisor for the 14th Air Base Wing (Columbus, MS) and finally in Minerals Management in Bourg, LA until she retired in March 2006 after 33 years of service.

She is survived by her husband James Ray Folse, her mother Mary Loudie Miller, her daughter Donna Folse Schultz and husband Chris, her sons James Ray Folse and wife Chrystal, Peter Anthony Folse, Carroll A Folse and wife Rose, daughter of her heart Dorinda Simmons Hughes, her sisters-in-law Gerline Landry and Kaaren Miller and her brothers-in-law Mike Lawrence, David Folse and wife Patty. She will also be forever missed by her grandchildren, James Brock Folse and wife Alyson, Kelsey Krobot and future husband Chris Hayden, Kristin Folse Dewey and husband Jeffrey, Emily Folse Howe and husband Dylan, Evan Folse, Sam Folse, Jenna Folse and Rebecca Folse, her great grandchildren Malachi Dewey & Sawyer Hayden, and godson Paul Breaux.

She will be greeted and welcomed into heaven by our Lord, his son Jesus, her father Carroll Miller, her brothers Dewey Miller, David Miller and wife Wanna, her sister Yvette Lawrence, sister-in-law Betty Armatta and husband Sidney, sister-in-law Janet Thibodeaux, brothers-in-law Peter Folse Jr., Earl Landry and August (Sonny) Folse.

A memorial service will be held at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church at 13281 Highway 644, Vacherie, LA 70090 on Monday, March 11, 2019 from 9:00-11:00 AM. The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 with a Reception in the small hall at the church.
