Zaina Schouest

Zaina Grace Abed Schouest was called home to be with the Lord on December 18, 2025. Though her time on earth was brief, her life was filled with purpose, love, and joy beyond measure.

Zaina was full of life and happiness. She loved makeup, adored her mommy, was truly her daddy’s world, and was Gammy’s bestie. Her sweet spirit, bright eyes, and joyful presence touched everyone who had the blessing of knowing her. She was a precious gift from God, and her memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who love her.

She is preceded in death by her late great grandfather, Norman J Schouest. Zaina is survived by her loving mother, Kourtney Schouest; father, Sam Abed; and sister, Octavia.

She is also survived by her great grandmothers, Lisa Coulon and Theresa Schouest; great grandfather, Archie Coulon Sr.; grandmother, Glenda Coulon Schouest; grandfather, Mark Schouest; and grandmother, TaTa.

She is lovingly remembered by her Aunt, Kalynn Schouest (Sal); Uncle, Kaleb Schouest (Nanny Skyler); Great Uncles, Keith Schouest, Paul Schouest (Parran), and Archie Coulon, Jr. (Sherri); Great Aunt, Mary Coulon Johnson (Brett); and cousins Macalynn Petit (Godmother), McKinley Petit, Collin Ory, Ava Johnson, Everly Johnson, Laurel Coulon, Logan Coulon, Ciarra Temple (Jaylen), Carissa Schouest, and Gage Schouest.

Relatives and Friends of the Family are invited to attend the Funeral Service at Mothe Funeral Home, 7040 Lapalco Blvd., Marrero, LA on Tuesday, December 23, 2025 at 11AM. Visitation will be held from 9:00 until 11:00am. The family has requested a private burial after the services.

We find comfort in knowing Zaina is now held in the arms of Jesus surrounded by perfect peace and everlasting love.
