Mouton Jr. and wife Dale Marie Guidry, and Kenneth Mouton and wife Sandra Serrette, all of Breaux Bridge, and Greg Mouton and wife Sharon Theriot of Spring, Texas; two daughters, Judy Johnson and husband Cedrick of Youngsville, and Tammy Allain and husband Chris of Lafayette; 14 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.
