Christine "Cricket" Davis Gauthreaux

Christine “Cricket” Davis Gauthreaux peacefully reunited with her beloved husband, Norman Gauthreaux, her daughter, Catherine Gauthreaux, her parents, her twin brother, and seven siblings on April 6, 2024, surrounded by family. A remarkable journey spanning 88 years, 60 of which were devoted to her soulmate, Norman. Together, they nurtured a beautiful family, blessed with the presence of two children: Todd (the late Catherine Gauthreaux) and Yvette (Nicholas Ciaccio III). As a grandmother, her essence truly shined, embracing her role with unparalleled warmth and devotion to Caitlin, Madison, Sammy, Deidre, and Matt.

Throughout her vibrant life, Christine found joy in the simple pleasures— the art of home cooked meals, gathering loved ones around the table for cherished family dinners, and testing her luck at the casino. A pillar of her community, she reveled in the annual tradition of attending homecoming festivities at Sparta Church, surrounded by dear friends and family. Yet, Christine's most defining attribute was her unwavering spirit of caregiving. Whether it was a listening ear, a comforting presence, or a helping hand, she selflessly tended to the needs of those around her, leaving an indelible mark of kindness and compassion on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Christine's love extended far beyond her immediate family, encompassing her nieces and nephews with the same boundless affection and warmth. Their laughter and joy brought her immeasurable happiness, and she treasured every moment spent in their company.

In her moments of need, Shirley and Paul Ranger stood as pillars of support, their unwavering presence a testament to the depth of their love and the profound impact Christine had on those around her. To them, and to all who have offered their kindness and support, the family extends their deepest appreciation.

Christine’s legacy of love, generosity, and boundless compassion will continue to illuminate the lives of all who were touched by her remarkable spirit. Though she may have bid farewell to this earthly realm, her memory will forever remain a beacon of light and inspiration for generations to come.
