Lafayette - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend; Cathy Carnahan Veron, age 73, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, in Lafayette. She filled every room she entered with warmth, laughter, and a spirit that touched everyone she met. Never meeting a stranger, she was known for her welcoming nature and the way she made people feel instantly at ease. She was truly the life of the party, always singing a song to make people smile. She had a remarkable gift for bringing people together around her table. Her love of cooking and entertaining created countless memories for family and friends who gathered to share her delicious meals. Christmas was her favorite season, a time when she could go all out to create magic for her loved ones, especially her grandchildren. Her joy and enthusiasm were contagious, filling her home with light and laughter. Her heart was immense, and her love knew no bounds, especially when it came to her grandchildren. Her world revolved around them, and they brought her endless joy. Most of all, she adored her husband, her steadfast companion through all of life’s adventures, and her children, who were the heart of everything she did. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Though she is deeply missed, we take comfort knowing she is in a better place in Heaven, her spirit shining brightly, watching over those she loved. Her memory will forever be a blessing in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Cathy was born on July 26, 1951, in Lake Charles and she was a longtime resident of Lafayette. She will be dearly missed. Cathy is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Ricky Veron; her children, Megan Zanes (Michael) of Prairieville and Brian Veron (Camille) of Lafayette; her grandchildren, Brady Veron, Madeline Veron, Luke Veron, Violet Veron, and her step-grandchild, Charlie Zanes; as well as her siblings, Norman Carnahan (Kathleen) of Spring, TX, Kevin Carnahan of Conroe, TX, and Sharon Caka (Mark) of Anaconda, MT.
