Eleanor Ann Coit Favrot died surrounded by her family on December 14, 2017. A long-time resident of Port Allen, LA she was in her beloved home where she nurtured and cared for her eleven children, all of whom recently celebrated her 95th birthday.
Born in Enterprise, MS in 1922 to Albert B. Coit, Jr. and Allie Williams Coit, her family moved to Tensas Parish, LA in 1924.
She graduated at the age of 16 from Newellton High School as valedictorian and then from Louisiana State University with a degree in Home Economics. While still an undergraduate, she accepted a teaching position at Port Allen High School and settled in Port Allen.
She married Paul D. Favrot in 1946, a marriage that lasted 50 years.
Her life was focused on her family, providing, by example, a spirit of loving, selfless giving. Her “favorite child” was the one who needed her the most at the time.
