Mavis Ann Prestley (Scioneaux) Obituary (1952 - 2020)

Mavis Ann Scioneaux Prestley, a native of St. James, LA, departed this life on Thursday, December 17, 2020 at the age of 68. She was born on June 28, 1952 in Donaldsonville, LA to the union of the late Joseph and Felonise Mayho Scioneaux, Jr. She was a graduate of St. James High School. She worked at Agrico and two sewing factories before attending nursing school at Southeastern Colloge. Due to physical disability, she was unable to fulfill her desire of caring for others. This did not put a damper on her spirit nor her desires for life. She was always happy and smiling, and willing to help others. Mavis was a very loving, caring mother and grandmother. Her grandchildren were the apple of her eyes. Being able to talk to them through FaceTime calls gave her great joy. She enjoyed watching Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Mavis was also a die-hard Saints fan. She would often try to recruit her son-in-law to get on the Saints bandwagon.
