Carla Ann Chauvin

Carla Ann Chauvin was a lifelong resident of Houma, Louisiana, a small city in Terrebonne Parish in the bayou country of the state's south. She was not a public figure in the conventional sense of politics, entertainment or business, and no Wikipedia biography exists for her. What is known about her life comes from the obituary published by Samart Funeral Home of Houma following her death, which describes a woman defined by family, faith and the simple pleasures of community life in south Louisiana.

According to that obituary, Chauvin found her greatest joy in her grandchildren and in the ordinary rhythms of daily life. She was known for sewing and crafting, for enjoying trips to the shops, and for playing bingo with friends, activities that gave her, as her family described it, a sense of fun and fellowship. She was remembered above all as someone who treasured time with her family and the memories they built together over the years.

Chauvin is survived by her daughter, Braia Blanchard, and Braia's husband Justin, along with two grandchildren, Oaklee and Kingston Blanchard. She is also survived by her mother, Joan Carlos, her sister Becky Dubois and Becky's husband Duane, a close friend named Christopher Thibodeaux, a niece and several nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Albon Carlos Sr., and her brother, Albon Carlos Jr.

Carla Ann Chauvin died on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the age of 70. Her family thanked the staff of Terrebonne General Health System, along with a named nurse and physician, for the care she received, which suggests she was under medical treatment before her death, though no specific cause of death has been made public. Per her wishes, no visitation was held, and her funeral arrangements were handled by Samart Funeral Home of Houma. The family has invited friends and community members to leave condolences through the funeral home's website rather than at a public viewing.
