Cindy Marie Mcelhaney

Cindy Marie McElhaney, 65, of Moss Bluff, LA, went to be with the Lord on Friday, August 5, 2016.

Mrs. Cindy was born on March 28, 1951, to Ernest Touchet, Sr., and Rena Newman. She was raised in Welsh, LA, and attended Welsh High School. Mrs. Cindy worked at Abe’s Grocery for 12 years before going to work at J.C. Penny for 18 years before retiring as a training supervisor in 2009. She proudly attended St. Theodore Catholic Church in Moss Bluff where she loved to participate in singing hymns. She loved her family and truly believed that her son made life wonderful.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Christopher D. McElhaney of Moss Bluff; son, Horace LeLeaux, Jr. and wife Cristen of Moss Bluff; four brothers, David Touchet, Sr., of Welsh, Ernest Touchet and wife Wanda of Welsh, Bobby Touchet and wife Gloria of Crosby, TX, and Randy Touchet and wife Cindy of Carlyss; five sisters, Judy Avant and husband John of Hathaway, Mary Smith and husband Richard of Denham Springs, Theresa Cormier and husband Robert of Hathaway, Debbie Mott of Lake Charles, and Belinda Touchet of Lake Charles; four grandchildren, Brittany McDaniel and husband Will, Tyler LeLeaux and fiancé Heidi Elter, Cheyenne LeLeaux, and Daniel LeLeaux; as well as two great grandchildren, Leah McDaniel, and Ava LeLeaux.

She is preceded in death by her parents; and her sister, Angela Touchet.

Funeral services will be at St. Margaret Catholic Church at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, August 10, 2016 with the Reverend Monsignor Charles DuBois officiating. Burial will be in Consolata Cemetery under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home. Visitation will begin at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 with a rosary at 6:00 PM. Visitation will continue on Wednesday at 8:00 AM.

To Mrs. Cindy a perfect day would be playing ball or working in the garden with her grandkids, while her son was repairing something for her, and in the background, her brother would be grilling her pork chop “well done.”

“She was a good and faithful servant who loved her God above all else.” What she was most proud of in life was her son and grandchildren.
