Lavaria, a resident of Opelousas, entered into eternal rest at the age 58, on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Lavaria, was a traveler, she loved shopping, going to the beach, swimming, decorating for the holidays, and her favorite color was purple. Most of all, she loved visiting and spending time with her loving family. She was known to have a big heart and share her love with everyone, it was with that passion she was a giver and a caregiver, as she always took care of others. She would rather serve than be served, she would always give back to her community. She would give unselfishly to the community and anyone in need.
