Melanie Lobell Cole

Melanie Lobell Cole, a deeply cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 21, 2025. She shared 43 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Willard Cole. Together, they built a life centered around love, family, and laughter. Melanie's greatest pride was her family. She is survived by her daughters, Kayla Arceneaux (Billy) and Jaimie LeBlanc (Damon). Her world truly revolved around her beloved grandchildren, Dae Arceneaux, and Brenden and Grayson LeBlanc, who brought endless joy and light to her life. She is also survived by her loving siblings, Winnie Brock, Grace Cryer (Jerry), and Benny Gregoire Sr. (Cassie); her Brother-in-law, Roger Abbott; her Sister-in-law, Alice Lobell; and her many nieces and nephews who meant so much to her. Melanie was a woman of simple joys and heartfelt passions. She was a proud LSU fan, cheering on the Tigers with an unwavering spirit. She found peace and happiness in the beauty of the mountains and was always captivated by the soothing sound of a good thunderstorm. These quiet loves reflected her gentle soul and deep appreciation for life's natural wonders. She was greeted in heaven by her parents, Eddie E. Lobell, Sr. and Juanita Dicharry Lobell; brothers, Raymond Lobell and Eddie Lobell Jr.; and her sister, Elizabeth Lobell Abbott. Melanie will be remembered for her kind heart, quiet strength, and the countless special memories she made with those she loved. Her legacy of warmth, compassion, and devotion will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends. Melanie is now home with Jesus, a beautiful blessing made possible through the loving faith and support of her dear niece, Jennifer Alvarez, whose devotion brought peace and comfort in her final days. Relatives and friends are invited to attend visitation at Christ’s Community Church in Denham Springs on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 10:00 AM until the funeral service begins at 12:00 PM.
