Earline Loretta Landreaux Mauthe passed away on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at her home in Folsom, LA after being diagnosed December 23, 2016 with breast cancer and fighting a courageous battle. She was 90 years of age. Earline was born on February 5, 1929 in New Orleans, LA to the late Earl Landreaux and Caroline Mangain Landreaux.
Earline is survived by her children, Randy Mauthe (Jade), Cindy Hebert (Brian), Kathy Mauthe, and Kenny Mauthe (Jamie). She was the grandmother of Wendy Fair, Sean Mauthe, David Mauthe, Jared Mauthe, Brenden Mauthe, Krystal Schaff, Laurie Smith, Ben Smith, Stacy Galloway, Travis Mauthe, Sarah Tullos, Katie Cutrer, and Daniel Mauthe.

The first part of her life was spent working on the family dairy. Her family then established Mauthe’s Grocery in Folsom which Earline ran and worked every day, and where she was able to interact with the local community. She always enjoyed cooking, especially for her family, which will miss her wonderful dishes and time spent eating at her home.

The family would like to thank Violet Tate and her sitting service for their wonderful care; in particular, the family would like to thank Pansy Simmons for taking care of her until the end. The family would also like to extend special thanks to St. Tammany Parish Hospital Hospice for their loving care and support. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made to the LA Orphan Train Museum, 371 Fort Hamilton Dr., Opelousas, LA 70570 in memory of her mother, Caroline, who came to Louisiana on an orphan train.
