Jean Monies Darnall

Jean Monies Darnall passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 in Terrytown, Louisiana. She was born on September 24, 1932 in New Orleans, Louisiana to the late Manuel Monies and Olivia Gonzales. Jean was the beloved wife of Earl Darnall for over 64 years, recently celebrating their anniversary on September 6th. She was the devoted mother of Lori Darnall Nawn, Scott Darnall (Shaun), and Darren Darnall (Sam). One of Jean’s greatest joys was her grandchildren. She will always be “Granny” to Colleen Nawn, Chloe Nawn, Colton Darnall, and Delaney Darnall. Jean was preceded in death by her siblings, Lucille Monies Addison, Marion Monies, and Donald Monies and leaves behind her dear sisters on this earth, Ruby Monies Uhle and Bessie Monies Senac. She also leaves behind a legacy of family with many nieces, nephews, and cousins and countless friends. Jean was a graduate of Francis T. Nicholls High School. She and Earl were married in New Orleans on September 6, 1956. Later, Jean entered the work force, employed by Guy Leefe Homes, Harwin Barge Company, and never really retired from Let’s Talk Travel. Traveling occupied much of her life, but she always found time to practice her strong faith at Christ the King Catholic Church. She loved to visit Navarre Beach, Florida and spend time with family and friends, many times doing both simultaneously. She was an active member of the Terrytown Golden Age Center, the Holy Name Society at Christ the King, and spent many years dancing with the Terrytown Grand Squares. Jean loved to have a good time, enjoyed her life, always living it on her own terms. She will be deeply missed. The family would like to extend heart felt appreciation for the great care received from St. Catherine’s Hospice. Their wonderful support assisted Jean and our family as she traveled from this life to the next. Due to the COVID Pandemic, attendees are limited to 100 persons.
