2023ObituariesMary Jane St. Amant

Mary Jane St. Amant, born July 1, 1938, passed away on October 6, 2023 at age 85 after her courageous battle with Scleroderma. Originally from Pierre Part, she resided for most of her life in Baton Rouge. It was here that she started a family and a prominent career in real estate. Her family was her passion. As the oldest of 9, she would go on to have three of her own kids and many grandkids and great grandkids. Real estate was in many ways an additional child of hers. She started out as an agent, moved her way up to broker, and then launched her very own real estate business. In 2002, Jane received the “Realtor of the Year” award from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors. Jane is survived by her husband of 60 years, T.H. St. Amant II; daughters Alice Regina Didier (J.W.), Diana Lynn Lawson (Kevin), and son Thomas Harris St. Amant III (Nancy); grandchildren Sunny Didier, Summer Didier, Audrey Tucker (Dawson), Olivia LeBlanc (Preston), Jonathan Cramer, Christian Lawson (Deanne), Kelsey Rogers (Sawyer), Victoria Kieffer (Joey), and Ava St. Amant; great grandchildren Samuel Tucker, Livie Kate Tucker, Silas Tucker, Adaley Lawson, Acey Lawson, Waylon Rogers, Lawson Rogers, Maverick LeBlanc, Dean LeBlanc, and Paloma Kieffer,; sisters Dorothy Keesing (Arthur), Geraldine Young , Marie Starns (Gary), Catherine Walker (Charles), and Sandi Tourere; brothers, Bernie “BJ” Tourere, Jr. (Judy), Henry Tourere, and Elias Ackal; and numerous nieces and nephews. Jane is preceded in death by her parents, Bernie J. Tourere, Sr. and Regina Mabile Tourere; sister, Joanne “Tinnie” Tourere Ackal , Russell Young, Brenda Tourere, and John “Tiny” Paul Tourere Sr.. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Harvest Manor Rehab.
