Janell Legaux Brustie's Obituary
Janell Legaux Brustie was called away to eternal rest on May 15, 2024 at the age of 64. She was born to Lewins Valcour and Peggy Hart Valcour on October 5, 1959. She was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was there she met her husband, Tyrone Brustie, whom she is survived by. She is also survived by her three daughters Christina Legaux Cooper (Cedric), Jennifer Legaux Ybarra (Daniel), and Elizabeth Legaux Wright (Joseph), her sister Sharon Valcour Baham (Felix), and eight grandchildren: Gabrielle, Arianna, Matthew, Kinzey, Leah, Aaron (AJ), Hayden, and Emma.
She is preceded in death by her father, Lewins Valcour, and her mother, Peggy Hart Valcour, who joined her in eternal rest on May 30, 2024. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Rhonda Valcour Williams (Christopher).
Janell was an upbeat person who had a funny sense of humor. Some of her interests included being outdoors, enjoying activities such as gardening and fishing. She loved spending time with Tyrone and their dog, Pearl. Janell had the opportunity to return to her childhood home and live there with her husband, who grew up on the very same street. Janell and Tyrone enjoyed their time together and made many memories, including taking a cruise with friends. The absence of her lively personality and spirit will be missed by all.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial service at E. J. Fielding Funeral Home on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM with visitation beginning at 10:00 AM until service time. A private burial will take place at a later date.
