Edwin John Pousson Sr.

Edwin (Ed) Pousson was 104 years young at the time of his death on March 13, 2023 at his home on Chapel Lane in Many LA. He died peacefully, in his sleep, with his loving family in attendance.

He was born November 7, 1918 on a farm between Egan and Iota, LA, to Cerenic and Leonore Richard Pousson. Ed was a World War II Vet, having served in the US Navy from 1939 to 1945. He retired in 1981 from working at Exxon Refinery in Baton Rouge.

Edwin married Marguarette (Maggi) Truax in Churchpoint, Louisiana, in 1942. Their blessed union lasted over 71 years before Maggi departed this earth on August 11, 2014. They had 10 children together.

They were predeceased by children Penny Ann, Edwin John Pousson, Jr., Mary Lisa Pousson, and grandson John Philip Pousson and great-granddaughter June Marie Smith.

Ed is survived by his other children: Marguarette Pousson of Austin, TX; Michael Pousson of Many, LA; Jaye Pousson Stepp (Beryl), of Briarcliff, TX; Robert Pousson (Judie) of St Amant, LA; Phil Pousson (Debbie) of Denham Springs, LA; Nick Pousson (Camille) of Covington, LA; and Nancy Pousson (Mark) of Wimberley, TX.

They were also blessed with 16 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and 8 great-great-grandchildren!

Ed and Maggi built their retirement dream home from the ground up in the Toledo Bend area. Ed soon tamed the red clay soil into garden loam that was the envy of many. Ed’s garden was a sight to behold. He spent his golden years where he wanted to be – at home, with family. Michael Pousson has been his at-home caregiver for more than 11 years and will be forever appreciated.

A private Celebration of Life will be held by his family at a later date.
