Vivian Youther

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Vivian Youther, a beacon of warmth and love who left us on October 10, 2026. A loving mother, a dedicated grandmother, and a loyal friend, Vivian was an epitome of kindness and dedication. Her life, though cut short at the tender age of 43, was a testament to a life well-lived, full of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Vivian was more than just an exceptional mother and grandmother; she was the friendly face behind The New Ronnie's Cajun Café in Eunice. Known for her warm smile and thoughtful service, Vivian was a favorite amongst the café's patrons. Her hardworking spirit and dedication to her work were undeniable, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met. As the poet Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Vivian exemplified this sentiment, making everyone she encountered feel special and valued.

A devoted and loving mother and grandmother, she held her children and grandchildren close to her heart, giving them a love they will carry with them always. Her memory will forever be treasured by her beloved children, Jordan (Raina Landry) Kelly, Alexis Kelly, and Katelyn Kelly; and her precious grandchildren, Khai’Zen Kelly, Ice’Land Ceasar, Kaven Kelly, Kolstyn Doran, Kulyn Kelly, and A’mari Babineaux, all of Eunice, Louisiana.

Vivian was preceded in death by her parents, Darlene and Michael Youther, and her husband, Geary Keith Doucet.

A celebration of Vivian's life will take place on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at The New Ronnie's Cajun Café. As we gather to remember Vivian, we encourage everyone to reflect on the joyful moments and laughter shared with her. She was a woman of incredible heart and spirit, and her love and dedication will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

We invite all those who knew and loved Vivian to share their memories and upload photos to her memorial page. These stories and pictures will serve as a lasting tribute to Vivian's extraordinary life, reminding us of the beauty and joy she brought into our lives.
