Veronica Cregut

January 24, 1955 – November 27, 2021

Devoted Wife, Mother, Grandma, and Friend, Veronica Cregut, of Ruston, Louisiana, formerly of Santa Ana, California, passed away on November 27, 2021, at Intensive Specialty Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. She was born to parents Lupe and Jess Hernandez on January 24, 1955, in Santa Ana, California. Veronica graduated from Mater Dei High School in 1973. She worked in education while in California and for the Grambling State University System for 30+ years. She was an active member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

Veronica was married to James (Jim) in 1973 and they lived together in Santa Ana before relocating as a family to Ruston in 1992. Veronica is survived by her loving husband Jim, treasured mother Lupe; siblings Carl (Linder) Hernandez; Cecil (Tim) Werdel; Monica Hernandez; and Joe (Marisa) Hernandez; children James Cregut, Heather Cregut, Justin (Katy) Cregut and Gwenn (Chris) Hall. She was an amazing grandma to Kylie, Brody & Nicholas Hall, and Hudson & Carmen Cregut. She is proceeded in death by her beloved father Jess, brothers Jesse and Pat, and grandson Christopher Hall.

From West Coast to the South, Veronica was a much-loved second mom to countless friends of the family. She was generous with her love, time, and resources which touched so many, no matter the circumstances; often giving without recognition. Veronica was warm, loving, and a ton of fun with a smile that delivered sunshine wherever she went. She was also tough and a fierce Momma Bear who was tremendously proud of her family. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her, and she has left nothing but beautiful memories which will be forever cherished.

Veronica will be laid to rest at Palestine Baptist Church Cemetery in Vixen, Louisiana, near her grandson Christopher, following a Funeral Mass on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at 2:00 P.M. at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Ruston, Louisiana. Visitation will be prior to the Funeral Mass from 1-2 PM at the church.

“Joy, with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter.”

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Thank you to the Cregut family for letting me be a part of your family even for the short time we had. I loved it when I would meet with Gwen and Heather for a girls night out and their momma was always so nice and so sweet to me. She really is loved by all and will be truly missed. Thank you so much for your kindness anytime I saw you around town. My condolences to Mr. Jim and her family.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. She was rare jewel and will truly be missed.

May Our Heavenly Father receive His daughter Veronica and cover her family and friends with His Infinite Grace, Mercy and Love! Amen! ??? Coach P

Veronica was a cherished prayer partner in our small Divine Mercy Chaplet prayer group at St. Thomas Church since the group started over ten years ago. Her beautiful, gentle spirit and her wonderful smile never failed to brighten my day and encourage my faith. She truly was a saintly woman who now enjoys the company of her Lord and Savior face to face. All of us who knew her were blessed by Veronica and we all look forward to the day we will see her again in paradise.

Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, "Mrs. Cregut - I’m going to miss you." It was a pleasure working with you over in the lab school and in the College of Business. Your warm friendly spirit helped make to make it through many dark days! I will miss seeing you take your walks around the 3rd floor of JTS during your lunch break, and our friendly conversations in your office as you helped me with the copier and Scantron machine. My sincere prayers to the Cregut family. She was indeed a wonderful person! Your friend Dr. “K.D.” (as only you would call me :) )

My heart is saddened Veronica. I waved at you after church in October. How I wish I knew it was the last time we were seeing each other. You were such a kind soft spoken lady. Very helpful and quick to render your time when one came into your office. I am still in disbelief but knowing how devoted and pious you were , I know you are resting in peace with our Lord Jesus. May the angels welcome you into paradise.

May God be with you and your family during this time of grief. Hold on to the great memories you have! Praying for peace and comfort for all of you.

We are so sorry for your loss. I know Ms. Veronica was a treasured wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Gwenn, Chris, Brody and Nick, she will remain in your hearts forever. May you find comfort in all your wonderful memories.? Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Love you guys, Patrina and Bruce
