Rose Zar Millet

April 13, 1928 — December 15, 2019

The world is a bit quieter today, for Rose Millet has passed away. Rose Zar Millet passed away peacefully on December 15, 2019 at the age of 91. Beloved wife of the late Charles “Boo” Millet. Loving mother to her son, Stephen C. Millet and her daughter-in-law Tara. Devoted grandmother of Haley DeFraites (Johnny), Stephen Millet, Jr., Ella Marie Millet, Amanda Grace Millet and Hannah Elizabeth Millet. Great-grandmother of Ava Rose and Lilah Robin DeFraites. Sister of Lillian Kreger (the late Joseph), Steven Zar (the late Joan), and the late Lucretia LeBlanc (the late Percy), Viola Creppel (the late Eddie), Celestine Falterman (the late Ralph), Andrew Zar (the late Loricia), and Margaret Creppel (the late Foster). Daughter of the late Rosette Verdin Zar and Steven Zar. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and their spouses,whom she loved as if they were her own and by countless friends whom she loved like family.

Rose was a native of Crown Point, LA and resident of Marrero until 1982 when she moved to Franklinton, LA. She was most recently a resident of Covington for the past 5 years.

She was a woman of great faith through all the difficulties of her life and shared her faith with youth by teaching CCD at Visitation of our Lady Parish in Marrero and being involved in youth group activities at Holy Family Parish in Franklinton. She will be most remembered for the love she had for her family and those she considered family. She was her son’s biggest cheerleader attending every sports event he participated in throughout his youth. Other than spending time with her grandchildren, what brought Rose the most joy in life was being with her family. She would cook for anyone who would let her and being the outstanding cook that she was you were lucky if her gumbo with potato salad and bread pudding were on the menu. She enjoyed football, especially if the Saints or LSU were playing. She was animated and lively; she loved many activities like Mardi Gras parades, telling stories and jokes, playing cards with family and friends, and telling you what your opinion should be (probably her favorite past time).

She was a true inspiration to all who met her and while her passing is sorrowful, her life was bright and her legacy will be celebrated.
