Luvenia W. Roulhac, 88, passed away Monday, Jan. 1, 2018. She was born May 15, 1929, in Blountstown, Fla., to the late Scott Washington and Gertrude Winton.
On Sept. 19, 1952, Luvenia and Humor “Henderson” Roulhac exchanged marriage vows and seven children were born into this union, Gwendolyn Beale, Laverne Roulhac, Phillip Roulhac, Tyron Roulhac, Mary Elizabeth Hill, Scott Roulhac and Sharon Rogers, all of Virginia Beach.
Luvenia was known as a “people person” and was affectionately referred to as Grandma or Ms. Roulhac to everyone she encountered. As a well-groomed lady she worked for years in Virginia Beach as a housekeeper and was very much a devoted mother, friend and tender heart in her local Lynnhaven community.
Her hobbies included gardening, playing bingo with close friends, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Additionally, she was an avid sports fan and could easily be found watching football on Sunday afternoons. As a young lady, she spoke of engaging time with her mother and special moments playing dress-up and dancing with loved ones.
Luvenia, was a gentle spirit in her senior years. She loved the Lord, often referenced memories of her late husband and made no secrets of her desires to join him when the Lord allowed.
Luvenia (aka – Grandma, Momma, Beanie, Ms. Roulhac) was preceded in death by her beloved brothers Ernest “Scott” Washington of Oxon Hill, Md., and William Washington of Blountstown, Fla. In addition, she is survived by her dear sister, Patricia Henry of Orlando, Florida, Jean R. Washington (sister-in-law) of Oxon Hill, Md., Charlie Roulhac (brother-in-law) of Panama City, Fla.; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
