Nora Couvillion

1948 ∼ 2025

Nora Reaux Couvillion, aged 76, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2025. She was born on October 19, 1948, in Port Arthur, Texas, where she spent many cherished years before becoming a resident of Rayne, Louisiana.

Nora was one of the beloved members of the Rivas family, being a sister to five brothers and five sisters. She is remembered as the last surviving sibling, with her brother Larry Rivas, Sr. among those left to honor her memory.

Throughout her life, Nora dedicated many years to serving her community as an employee of The City of Port Arthur and later at Sonic in Bridge City. She was devoted to her Catholic Faith all her life and she faithfully prayed her Rosary every evening. Nora was passionate about Cajun music and enjoyed dancing, which brought joy to those around her. She was well known for her famous tamales that everyone waited with mouthwatering anticipation for.

Nora leaves behind her son, Darryl Edward Reaux and his spouse Peggy Berliew of Orange, Texas, along with their daughter, Hannah Felice Reaux. She is also survived by her daughter Nicole Desiree Reaux of Port Arthur and her children, Alicia Denise Lynch and her husband Joshua, as well as Jason Aaron Dever. Additionally, her husband, Paul Couvillion, and three stepchildren from Rayne, Louisiana, are left mourning her loss. Nora was beloved by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Mary Ann Rivas, along with her eight siblings. Nora's warmth and spirit will be forever cherished in the hearts of her family and friends.

A Visitation of family and friends will be Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 2:00 till 4:00 P.M followed by a Funeral Service to honor Nora at 4:00 P.M., both to be held at Clayton Thompson Funeral Home in Groves, Texas.

Condolences

Roger Gonzales July 23, 2025
Our Deepest Condolences to the Reaux Family I’ve had the honor of knowing Mrs. Nora Reaux since the late 1970s. My brother and I used to spend time with her son (Darryl) and Darryl's cousins, and from the very beginning, Mrs. Reaux treated us like family. She often took us to school or wherever her kids were headed—she always made room for us. I’ll never forget the time she took us to an Astros game; we had an incredible time and made memories that still bring a smile. Darryll has always felt like a brother to us. Even though time and distance have kept us apart, we’ve managed to stay connected through Facebook. I know how deeply Mrs. Reaux will be missed by all who knew her. She was a truly wonderful and loving person, and her kindness extended well beyond her immediate family. To Darryl and Nicole, and to the entire Reaux family—including her wonderful siblings and brother Larry—please accept our heartfelt condolences. Stay strong, my friends. Rest in peace, Mama Nora. We love you and will always miss you. With love, The Gonzales Family
